Personal comments
The International Office does a lot of work finding a place for everyone. I have only heard a few persons complain about anything else than the rent! But then again - almost all students live at the International House.

Academic
Course recommendations
In the International Exchange/CEMS degree programme we were both undergraduate, graduate, and even MBA students. -Making it impossible to have courses that suit everyone... Do take the three week Dutch course... A funny language but also an excellent opportunity for meeting other persons than the ones in your programme during the semester, and for doing a lot of sight seeing and settling in before getting serious.

From the classes I was not very impressed with the academic level. Luckily I took part in a very interesting business project, which greatly improves my overall assesment of the semester.

Final comments
There are many nice places to visit in the weekends, eg Utrecht and Maastricht. I was glad that I came to Rotterdam instead of Amsterdam - there are way too many tourists in the Dutch capital.
