There is something for everyone in Groningen but my favourite places was probably Pakhuis, an intimate, dimly lit bar with different levels.

It is enjoyable to live with other students in a social environment whilst also having your own space to study and have some privacy.

It is a great experience to live in housing with international students of various nationalities, as you inevitably learn a lot about different cultures, become more tolrant as a person and most importantly, make some amazing friends for life.

Estudios
Recomendaciones de cursos
Readers must normally be bought for every course and often there is a supplementary book also, so buying reading materials can be expensive if you are staying for the year and studying perhaps 9 or 10 courses. A good idea is to club together with your friends and share readers, which are specifically tailored to the course to not as good value as a proper book which you can use again.

Courses in Groningen were extremely varied as regards workload and difficulty, so it is difficult to generalise, but overall I had no real problems.

Almost everyone in the Netherlands speaks English ( and probably one or more other languages)to a very high level, which means there is little incentive to learn Dutch.

Si lo hubiera sabido...
No, my University provided lots of information and I was able to meet with students who had lived in Groningen the year before.

Recomendación personal
Groningen is an excellent choice for your ERASMUS year. It is a beautiful city that is small enough to get to know it really well but large enough to have plently of life and culture. The university itself has a good reputation and courses and wide ranging and enjoyable. One thing I would strongly advise is to seek accomadation in a student house rather than a private flat, as this was probably the best part of my year away and makes meeting people very easy and non-stressful.

Comentarios finales
Be careful not to get ripped off by local bike shops who make a killing out of exploiting foreign students. A second hand bike should cost no more than 50 euros. Student rail cards can be bought at the station if you take your student card and a photo, which gets you a big discount if you want to go to Amsterdam, The Hague or wherever takes your fancy for the weekend.

Certain things in Holland such as rent and some foods are cheaper than in the UK. Also, bills were included in the rent which made a big difference.

Shop around for cheap phonecards to call home, and check out the local market for food.
