Rijksuniversiteit Groningen

There's a real accommodation shortage in this city, so apply as soon as you can. The accommodation is pretty basic, but the atmosphere in the houses are really friendly. Definately recommend to anyone.

The nightlife in Groningen is really great. There's always a bar or club open until at least 6am every night of the week, even if they are a bit manky. The main places us international students tended to go included Sally's, Speigal, Rumba, Three Sisters, Palace and Negende Cirkle. Molly Mallones was also popular for a while, but watch out for the gorilla-like bouncers, they're twats. Generally, there's plenty of choice for all tastes. If you're still here in May, don't miss the Pink Pop festival in the south of the country, well worth it!

Don't think twice if you're considering coming here, it really was the best experience I've had. Make sure you secure accommodation before you arrive, be prepared for some initial communication problems (you'll get over these soon enough!) and make the most of your time abroad, it'll be over before you know it. You're going to have an amazing time!

I was really surprised to find out that almost everyone in the Netherlands is near-fluent in English. The locals were really noticably friendly and kind.
