Got neglected, lost a lot

Overall
The school had told me I would be allowed to attend, if I met the conditions. The conditions being a list of things I had to prove, grades and such. Among the conditions was that I had to take an english test, so I did. They had told me I needed to take a test, and had mentioned two institutions, and some specific tests, without giving me a complete list of accepted tests. I later found that list hidden behind a survey on their website, a survey I answered honestly, and thus did not get the list. I took a test that was not on that list, and I should have been more careful. But I sent them that test over two months before I left my country, and they did not tell me it was the wrong test until after schooling started. I had not recieved my schedule, and was told that it was too late to do anything about it, I could apply again next year they told me. I needed to attend school to get student funds, and what little money I brougt with me dried up quickly. They communicated with me during those two months, they just didn't tell me it was the wrong test. It was IELTS Indicator by the way, and they accepted the normal IELTS test, that I could not take, because it was not offered in my country, because of the pandemic. I could not take any in-person test, and so I opted for the online version of the test they accepted. I also know several of their faculties accept the test, mine did sadly not.

Personal comments
Nearly everybody is fluent in English in the Netherlands, so communication is no problem at all. Due to the fact that exchange students from all over the world spend their semester or year abroad in Maastricht and the cohesion between exchange students is generally very high I had a lot of opportunities to practice Spanish and French as well! When coming back to Austria I got really used to speaking English, Spanish and French with different groups of people.
