The previous arrangement was a single studio room in an entire block of similar rooms. There isnt any chance of social interaction between neighbours which makes life pretty boring. Most of my neighbours are not Dutch, so that defeats the purpose of studying in Holland because i do not get much exposure to the Dutch Culture and no chance at all for a decent cultural immersion and exchange.
I would choose to stay in student housing complex, because there, i get to interact with Dutch students and get to learn more about their culture.

There are very little on-campus housing, most student hosuing are off -campus. The university is helpful in securing housing for exchange students albeit off campus, so there's no worries in that department.
Avoid lumping all the international students together, provide more chance for interaction between locals and foreigners. The whole purpose of these exchange programmes are for cross-cultural exchange and immersion. The university should place that in mind, instead of simplifying matters by lumping all the exchange students together.
Well, basically the euro is much stronger than the singapore dollar and the standard of living is higher. i pretty much live the same way i do, but its just not as affordable in Holland than in Singapore. The only plus point is the cheap beer in Holland. Beer in Singapore is 5 times more expensive.
well, there are a lot of coin denominations in the euro currency and that makes it very troublesome to carry coins around as you will end up with a lot of useless 1 cents , 5 cent coins that you cannot seem to get rid of. However you really need to have a local bank card and do all your transaction electronically to save yourself the hassle of going home with a bag full of useless coins.
