Rijksuniversiteit Groningen (UNIVERSITY OF GRONINGEN)

Student city filled with vibrance. The course I studied is titled Arts, Culture and Media. Diverse fields are investigated and a plethora skills are touched upon.

Great PhD program in a very international and multidisciplinary environment. You will meet and work with people for all over the world. 
The quality of the courses and of the research at the university are outstanding.

The University of Groningen is known for being of good quality and for attracting a large number of international students. However, the Netherlands in general has a huge housing problem. In 2018, students had to sleep in tents, and now in 2021, the same problem might occur. It is absurd how difficult it is to find housing in Groningen. Many students end up housed illegally, without a BSN or no postal address, keeping their postal address from their previous student houses. Landlords, students' houses and many take advantage of students charging ridiculous prices for a single room. This year (2021) it has been ranging between 650-850 euros per month and there are still many students who have no housing. So if you want to end up homeless, feel free to join. We even have a FB group called: Homeless Students in Groningen.

Student life in Groningen is great because it's a super small city. You get to know fellow students easily and there are many sports and educational events throughout the year.

I am very satisfied with the University of Groningen. The courses are very interesting, there are many extracurricular activities offered to students.

I'm currently enrolled in a master's in Writing, Editing and Mediating at RUG, and it's everything I had hoped for. Great practical information and a career-focused approach.
