Here i could communicate at ease with my fellow student colleagues and teachers. It is an environment where every body communicates very freely with friends but become very closed when they meet unfamiliar persons.

Personal recommendation
That there be more staff at the foreign student registration desk especially at the beginning of the academic year. And that more courses be offered in English too and not only limited to dutch. It will make the University more international.

Final comments
It was a great experience studying in this University and in this Country. It has changed my life completely to what i never expected. I am very happy with these changes and hope to make good use of them. I advise new comers to learn the language immediately upon arrival otherwise they will be alsmost lost in this environment.
