Personal recommendation
the tuition fee in this university is expensive for international students, I just hope they do not change the tution fee every year, I could not believe the tution fee is much more high than before.

International students have not more sports in school, we couldn't work any more, all the international students just can do the cleaning work, of coure this is very hard work, everything is not good in this country.

“Not really friendly”

Overall
I would not recommend this 'University' for introverts or for the people coming from abroad to obtain knowledge. A lot of useless team projects here I wish I could avoid, totally terrible organization, not enough possibilities for a foreign student, 'closed' people. Better go to the UTwente if you're coming here to study, or stay in your home country if you're searching for an atmosphere.

Personal spending habits
Hungary is a cheaper country than Holland. In Holland, the meat is especially expensive for me. The accomodation was cheaper for Dutch students than for us. Travelling is also more expensive than in Hungary.

The Netherlands is very beautiful and Dutch people are very friendly. I have had a lot of fun here! There are very nice and interesting cities (Den Haag, Amsterdam, Maastricht, Groningen, Rotterdam etc.). It is often raining.
