“Top University when it comes to educating young individuals and preparing them for the job market.”

Vlad B

Netherlands, Undergraduate
Economics, 2020

Overall

Teachers are helpful and always ready to support you. There are opportunities for students with higher grades to work as teaching assistants, thus morally preparing them for an office job in the future, but also giving them the chance to help other students with their studies.

Pros

Work ethic, ranking, teaching quality

Cons

Quite bad food in the canteen
