Investigate about them, cause the names don't always match the real subject. If you choose well... you will be more than happy.

It's a perfect place to open your mind to different cultures and points of view, as you'll always be in class with people from all over the world. Apart from learning a lot, you'll also have plenty of time to travel, go out, and enjoy off campus life.

when traveling to Belgium (just 5 minutes away from Maastricht) buy the 10 journey pass, wich saves a lot of money! also, check out Ryanair flights out of Charleroi (in belgium, but close)to a lot of destinations in europe..buy in advance and just fly roundtrip for 30 euros !

Housing
Type of housing: Rooms specially for Maastricht students
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I would choose an apartment because it would be more comfortable and I would have more space to have all my things organized.

Not really, everything was well explained on the University/GuestHouse website or through former exchange students from my Home University.

-Travel advice: don't take a taxi from Amsterdam airport to Maasticht!!!(some people did), it will be dreadfully expensive. Think first about the train. There are also Maastricht Airport and Brussels airport that are quite close.
-Don't be shy and you will meet so many nice people and have a great experience.

“University College Maastricht has fostered learning & personal growth”
Ruben D
Netherlands, Undergraduate
Development Studies, 2020
Overall
University College Maastricht is a fantastic educational programme. It is characterised by an open curriculum, an interdisciplinary study programme, small class sizes (max 12 students to ever tutor) and a strong sense of community with many extracurricular activities. The course catalogue is diverse and in-depth, however, it is still possible to take specialized courses at other faculties.
