If you want to travel, you can get Discount cards for the trains, almost the best way to travel is the train.
Don't forget your bicycle, best mean of transport, to cope with short distances.

Mostly we had parties organised by exchange students, us, but there are some bars and discos in the centre of Breda. eg. Spiltoun, Walkabout, Cranbeurs, so on. The best way to find your favorite one is to go to the centre of the city, saturday or Friday evening and make a tour through every place you can find:)

That there is so much rain in Holland! It was a joke! In the end I learnt to love rain as well.

Personal recommendation
In some questions they should be a little bit more flexible. E.g. before Christmas we should have gone to school until 24th of December. In Hungary December 24 is the first day of Christmas. They had Hungarian students before who asked for a permit for leaving earlier to join their families in Hungary but the school did not change it. So the procedure is the same every year: Hungarian students (50 people) write a letter, the director of the course gets mad and finally he gives the permit to come home earlier.

If you want to travel within Holland it is really worth buying a 'Voordeel Uren' Card. This is a discount card, costs 100 NLG but if you have it you can buy tickets with a 40 % discount for yourself and 3 other people if you travel after 9 in the morning.

around the Grootemarkt you will find all the cafes to hang out, in summer it's great to hang out on the terraces of these cafes, the "hart von Breda", the Irish pub, the Jazz cafe...dependents your taste, just pick! In winter when it's not rainning you can also sit outside they have heaters!

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I lived with other 3 international students. It helped us with improving our English and allowed us to learn about different cultures.
