“Could Not Think of a Better Place to Study”
Eryn K
Netherlands, Undergraduate
Performing Arts, 2022
OverallI absolutely love the University of Groningen. The city is unbelievably culturally advanced and it is the perfect place to have a hands-on experience with all forms of arts, music, and theatre organization. The program is so unique and offers an incredibly broad spectrum on all different arts industries, from film, to literature, to music, to theatre so you know exactly what you want and where you want to end up in your career field.

registration for wings is very useful
(student organisation) - they organise trips, activities, help with university
to travel: buy a reduction card at the train station; very cheap and you can take 3 more people with you for half price
housing: its not easy to find accomodation in groningen - reserve as soon as possible a room in a studenthouse

“The housing crisis in Groningen is really draining. Start searching as soon as you can.”

Overall
The teachers I interacted with were all ready to help me from start to finish.
Considering my master's in environmental sciences, I was very pleased to work in the most sustainable building in Europe (Energy Academy Europe).
There is a large variety of courses to choose from, in which they were easy to understand, and the teachers would always respond within a day or two.
