Personal comments
Lunch at the cantina (mensa) and dinner at home with itms bought on the supermarket. There are three supermaket chains clearly directed to different social economic customers. I recommend the Heida (do not recall very well if it is exactly this name) chain. If you want to travel in the netehrlands the railways are just amazing. They have special tickets that allow you to save a lot of money.

Personal comments
There are a couple of nice bars but it depends on what you like. Personally am tired of the bars full of noisy, bad manner dutch students. But you can always find something you like in Tilburg. Dutch students do not talk too much with Internationa students so if you go out and you are an international student, probably you will hang out with other internatioanls. Dutch students just do not dare to talk with us too much. They are a bit " marrow" not as open as we think they are. Which is a pity.

Good to see Amsterdam, Keukenhof, Utrecht, Maastricht
It's better to choose more courses at the beginning and than reduce them to the most interesting ones.
