Personal comments
The best place to go in Utrecht is along the Oudegracht...it's lined with shops, cafes, night clubs, restaurants, pretty much anything you would desire and it's right in the center of the city. The rest of the center is packed with all types of stores, etc. and is right next to the Hoag Catherine, which is an indoor mall connected to the Central Station as well as the central bus terminal.
Also, on weds., friday, and saturdays there is an outdoor market with fresh fruit, vegetables, poultry products, fish, as well as other things you might need.

Academic
Course recommendations
there are thousands of things to take into account, but in general, the experience has been very positive.My peronal experience might not be very useful for my fellows, because I have taken one specific year in order to get the double degree with my home University. Probably is one of the best points at this University, within Erasmus is rather difficult to have the opportunity to be graduated through two universities at the same time, and moreover, get a degree of four years only spendind one intensive year, is definitely a great chance.
