Tilburg is good place to travel around Europe, it is close everywhere. If you want to travel cheaper in the Netherlands buy a special train card allowing you for 40% discounts for train tickets.

Course recommendations
sometimes it says that the course will be open to everybody but later it might turn out that it is closed for international students (no place for us). in general the level of English is high. I really liked International Management, Comparative Management, International financial management
