I think I have been abroad just at the right moment: when you are not too attached to your country and you want to go abroad.

Go abroad to discover what is outside your country. You have such great opportunities to discover abroad when you are young.

Don't be scared to travel (if you have any occasion to) because if you don't do it now, perhaps you won't have the occasion to do it again and you'll regret it.
Moreover, I learned much more about people (in my 2 years abroad) than my 18 years in France.
So, TRAVEL

Very challenging, requires good team spirit and a lot of self-discipline. You learn to focus your studies in a practical way, which I found very helpful for my work experience.

The Netherlands is a rather cold country. Housing is not easy to find on your own. It is always better to accommodate in student facilities offered by the university. For the rest, enjoy and make the most out of it!
