Course recommendations

As I am a student with a major in IT, I would recommend every othe rexchange student with the same background and a little interest in Business issues to take courses that are labeled BC, because they are management courses focusing on IT issues. Very up-to-date!!!

My academic experiences

Quality of courses

Variety of courses

Access to resources

Interaction with teachers

Interaction with international students

Interaction with local students

Personal comments

Not really! The offerings have been very diversified, so everyone should be in the position to find whatever is of interest. Though, if I could, I will tell responsible persons at NTU to focus more on class interaction and to focus on more presentation skills for the locals.

Housing is extremely cheap compared to The Netherlands. Travelling in Australia and New Zealand is extremely expensive. Cost-saving tips: don't go there, and stay in the cheaper Asian countries for travelling.

Personal comments

Living on campus will save you alot. The monthly expences on a room (with roommate) will be around 120-150 Singdollars. This includes free broadband-access and free water- and electric utilities.
