The University arranged that pretty good so tha first time i arrived i got my room, but the room to stay for one year is not a really comfortable one cause it was so small and there was no internet connection(cause i bring my own notebook) and no phone (only one phone:receiving only)for one corridor.The rest are pretty ok.

The most difficult thing is that I live in international student flat where thare was no dutch student and since all my courses are in english i really found it a bit hard to improve local language especially almost local people are able to speak english.Aniway, I work as a part timer at the restaurant so i thought...why don't i try to start say things in dutch??!!
