Course recommendations
dont take courses which are valuated for 10 ECTS because there is a very small chance to pass it.be ready to do a lot of group work, really time consuming projects will take place all the time

Personal comments
Monday night 11-12pm: Happy Hour in Sally's o' brians
Wednesday night (don't remember the time): The Storm (pretty wierd place but happy hour!)
Apart than those places, Molly Mallone's (don't do anything illegal in the there, otherwise you won't be allowed to enter there anymore for the rest of the year, believe me!
De Stadlander is good to start the even, as De Cafe Spieghel does. Drie Gezusters is not to be missed.
events: well, don't miss Queen's day... and if you like live music, try to get organized to go to Pinkpop in the south of Holland (end may - beginning june)... It's perfect!

Housing
Type of housing: International student house
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: International student house
Why?
It's the best way to socialize with other international students, though it will be harder to meet the Dutch.

Personal comments
Apply for a room through the Housing Office and DO NOT choose the student house "Kornoeljestraat". Apply as soon as possible and get ready for a shared bathroom and kitchen!

Personal comments
International students are placed at one of several international student houses by a special housing agency which is designed to place foreigners in Groningen housing. Housing is difficult to find there without help, even for locals.
