Only one housing company works for the University. The price could have been lower if more housing companies are introduced.

Personal spending habits
Because euro is much more expensive than RMB... And the study is so busy, I don't really have much time for Nightlife or Travel. As for the Telephone, I use MSN instead to save money. :)

Personal recommendation
First of all,the international student profile could have been more diversified. Secondly, the scholarship should have been more available, as a Chinese student I couldn't access to any scholarship in the second year! The email university distribute should have been in both Dutch and English instead of only in Dutch. Last but not least, the university could have done better in help the students with finding interships.
