Personal comments

Costs of living here is of course more than in my country, but nevertheless still much less than what I experienced in England. Tips for new asian students: Becareful the price for MVV card has increased again. And I hope you save some money to explore Europe in the weekends or hollidays.

The korenmarkt is the place to go in Arnhem. Esspecially on a hot summers afternoon. The cafes are all very similar in this part of the town, but it is very nice to sit out on the terrace with a few mates and enjoy a nice cold beer. If it coffee you are after, Grand Cafe is you best bet!
