Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Living on campus was relatively expensive compared with the quality of the rooms and the whole building. Also we had problems with the housing contract termination.

Personal comments
Overall, it was nice to live on campus, but the building was very old and dirty. The appartments were small with only the minimum furniture. Also most of the housing contracts did not cover the whole semester, so at the end of it we needed to look for some place to live for a couple of days in order to finish our exams.

Housing
Type of housing: A room exchange
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: A room exchange
Why?
Cheapest option for a student and its close to the school. You meet a lot of international students there, which helps you to improve language skills and other international communication skills. Very interesting to live in a same building with 200 other international students from all over the world.

Course recommendations
Course contents and quality are quite good, but the teachers could depend less on the books and put in more of their own experience.

Personal comments
The grading system is very strange, since we got 5 credits from project work, 5 credits from the final essay examination and 5 credits from the exams of ALL the courses. Eventhough we would have failed even one course exam, we would not get the 5 credits. So it felt that the credit system is not equally distributed.

Final comments
go to poland is not so far from Netherlands, it is perfect for student (it is cheap).
be careful of the adicts in the Red Light District, but they also sell the famous Dutch bike for a cheapest price than in a shop (10/15 Euros not more)
go to the Melkweg for concerts.
go to Rembrandt Plein to have a glass on a sunny terasse.
enjoy your life in the Netherlands...

the accommodation was worst than I expected since we were paying quite a tlot of money and the cleaning was not really well organized and we did not have services as internet. Although the people I meet there have become really good friends of mine.

Personal comments
It was nice to have the whole house for the exhange students. The house was pretty ok but the rent was too high. I also would have like to have also Dutch students living in the same place. The distance to the center was long but train connections were pretty good.
