Personal comments
The housing couldn't have been better, however I managed to be the only one from my program that ended up with a 40 year old Vietnamese teacher from another program as a roommate. She was a terrible roommate, never slept at night always studying. It was the worst part of my experience there.

Personal comments
The Dutch speak English better than most other European countries I have visited, so it made learning the language a little more difficult considering the natives would rather speak english to you than you speak dutch to them. Still, I found once a Ducth person saw your willingness to learn their language, they were very helpful, patient, and pleased.

check out the cheap cheap flights you get with all the new small airlines. Credit cards not always taken in Amsterdam, set up your own bank account once there to keep costs down and make things easier.

I have just learned some basic phrases of Dutch, although I would like to learn more in the future. Especially if I decide to work in Holland.
My level of English before coming here was advanced. In Amsterdam I have used English very offten, both in the academical and the social activities. I have improved my fluency and my vocabulary.
