“Ik studeer aan de HvA … Ik schaam me”
Jade
Netherlands, Undergraduate
, 2025
Overall
Studenten op de hva worden nooit gehoord en worden altijd mishandeld. Docenten daar zijn nutteloos en oneerlijk. Ik heb niet het gevoel dat ik betaal voor een indicatie maar voor emotionele schade, depressie, ongezonde leefstijl en overgewicht. Ik heb geen vrienden meer en ik heb mijn bijbaantje verloren door de moeilijke en oneerlijk onderwijs aan de HvA en ik kan alle vakken nog steeds niet halen, niet omdat ik niet studeer maar omdat docebten daar niet gekwalificeerd zijn om docenten te zijn.
*alle studenten aan de gezondheid faculteit van de HvA hebben hetzelfde klachten en het meeste van hun hebben al gestopt of hebben naar een andere, eerlijker hoogschool gegaan.

“Small-minded, uninteresting and uninspiring teachers”
Anouk

Overall
Very disappointed by the French department at the HVA, its small-mindedness, uninteresting and uninspiring teachers, rigidity towards French native speakers and inability to realise that the world and the classroom are miles away from the boring and useless theories that they teach. There is a huge lack of French teachers in Dutch schools and this is no wonder: the stranglehold starts at institutions like the HVA, where even intelligent people manage to fail thanks to their appallingly rigid grading system. That's an achievement in itself. Bravo!

A website where students themselves have to apply for their internship and an internship fair. Other than that, you're on your own!

Pros
Number one for pedantic teachers who think they've reached god-like status

Their amazing ability to demotivate even the most enthousiastic people
