Work opportunities:

Personal spending habits
Because of the coin. 1 fl.=75.5 pesetas. But also because you don´t want to lose any oportunity to know the country and the people, so you have to social life many times. In the other hand you have to eat to surbive and the food is more expensive.

Holland is a wonderfull country, mostly in Apryl. Maybe the only not nice caracteristic is the wheather, it can make you feel very sad some times.
I didn´t feel foreigner any time. It´s amazing every body speaks in english very well. The country of the tolerance and freedom.

Housing
Type of housing: A room exchange
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: A room exchange
Why?
Because I like living with more people with my same age. I also think that living alone is very sad, even when you are in a country at the north of Europe, because of the wheather.

Personal comments
In Delft, all the accomodation for foreign students belongs to Duwo. It is like an Organization. In this way, all the students live in similar situation: the same kind of flats, furniture,... every year, since long time ago, I believe. So, to every flat or room from the Duwo you go, you can see that every thing is quite old and already used by many students. I don´t like that. I think that Duwo should check every year its flats and buildings and try to repair everything that needs to be repaired.
My impression is that all the flats, rooms, and buildings from Duwo are like forgotten.
