Housing
Type of housing: A room exchange
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: A room exchange
Why?
I lived in a student residence with Dutch flatmates, so I could get to know more about the culture and the people of The Netherlands, I really enjoyed it.

Personal comments
The university offered several apartments to share with the rest of students, some of the flats were composed by international students, and others just by Dutch students with a room for an international, which was the one I had so my personal experience was very satisfactory. However, some of the flats didn´t have a common area such a living room, so the students couldn´t get to know eachother as they spent the time in their own rooms.

Languages
Language of instruction: English
Was learning English a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't.
Language difficulties
Administrative / Institutional
Personal comments
Dutch was only spoken between Dutch students, they all can speak English as a second language, and lessons were offered in English so I hadn´t had the need to learn it although I learned the everyday knowledge.
