Universiteit Twente

First I lived in a room at De Klomp (in the city) which, apart of being extremely expensive, the conditions were not so good. After I mooved to a very nice room on Campus. Really big, clean, quiet and incredible internet facilities. In the end I moved to Macandra where I met a lot of nice people and also my friends from my course. The conditions are not as good - the room is quite small, no internet and you have to share the kitchen with other 29 people. Still worth it!

"The Edge", Atak (Disco -> Alternative Rock - Sat, Techno-House - Thu, and concerts sometimes), The Kikker (bar), Friends Too (bar), Rocks (bar), Delirium (the best bar/disco, unfortunately closed too soon).

Highly recommended experience at most aspects: academic ,social and personal experience, independence, improving a foreign language (english) and getting in touch with lots of different cultures. About traveling tips, first of all get a bicicle. You can get some nice second hand bicicles on Campus at U-Tecno or by Lili (a Vietnamite guy who buys and sells bicicles). But it's indispensable. As for the train traveling, I highly recommend you to get a discount card as soon as you can. It's valid for one year and you get 40% discount everytime you travel (you get it payed back in just a couple of travels). Personally I'd also recommend you to get the Enschede Pass (E-Pass) that gives you discount in some restaurants and shops, as well as museums and libraries. You can also have free entrance in the best disco in Enschede -ATAK.

Nothing relevant.

Learning dutch: only if you have to, or if you're crazy enough to like it! :-) Improving english: even if it's not your intention, you'll get better for sure, besides EVERYONE there speaks english.
