Universiteit Maastricht (UM)

Well, that depends where the people are. In my semester the places were to go out the Highlander (the most, only for drinking), Shamrock (drink and play pool or table football), Meta (disco), The Ala (disco, go only on Fridays) and Backstage (reggae, rock, heavy, etc. look the program)!! Well, the atmosphere in Mastricht is very good, but the place to go are very few. Normally except Meta and Ala (about 05:30-06:30 am) the places close at 3 am in the weekends. Well, in the coffee-shop Heaven you can eat very good. As well there is a Chinese restuarant in the market square whit direction to the bridge, which only cost 6 euros during the working days until 5 pm, and it's a free buffet where you can eat a lot. The Turkish restuarant in front of the town hall in the market, it's also cheap. The rest you will find out it. Enjoy lovely Maastricht!!!

Highlander, it is the best place to share a beer with a couple of friends any day of the week, however on tuesdays it is paramount, as well as the highlander, the metamorphos, where you can meet regular students and also exchange students and dance until the morning

Karneval, Christmas Markets, and the many many many bars and clubs. There is a disco in a converted church, as well. Ideal location for travel - last minute flights from brussels or amsterdam are a short train trip away - went to Spain, Turkey, Hungary, Italy...

i visited a coffee shop (Hooven 69), as many exchange students i think! i just wanted to feel what is the ambiance inside. the town of Maastricht is really nice and it is proud of its history! there are others cities like Amsterdam or Utrecht that many students visited. it is very particular.

Check out the Twee Heren (Typical erasmus pub on Tuesday night), Metamorfoos (happy hour from 01:00 to 02:00) and the Allebonneur. It deserves to be mentioned the Carnival that takes place in the end of February. The whole town turns crazy for nearly a week.

I liked a lot to do aerobics. With respect to the night life I really enjoy to go to the Ala Bonair, Cafe d'Uni, Twee Heeren, and in a sunny afternoon they are many choices within the Vritof to sit on a terrace and enjoy the sun.
