Tilburg is good place to travel around Europe, it is close everywhere. If you want to travel cheaper in the Netherlands buy a special train card allowing you for 40% discounts for train tickets.

Personal comments

In the city town you have lots of things to do. You can go to many places to meet with friends. We used to go to a pub in the centre called Lamme Goedzak, where all the Erasmus parties were organised; there we met all the international people.We also went to the Cafe Bolle, to the Cafe Philip and many other pubs next to them in the centre of Tilburg. The ESN Tilburg could not be better, they organised really good events and parties for the Erasmus students. It was a great experience in a great city where I could learn more about the dutch culture and about many other cultures.

nope, the way teacher teach in the netherland is really good, there is not many courses hours but students have to prepare every class before, to know what is about and to read and think about it which is good.

My opinion of the university assessment

Why?

When the fist day there i realized i will be living with 16 other international peolple in a big grey building i felt lost, but two hours later i met those people who became my friend right after and who taught me the best english i couldn't have imagined to learn. If i was to go back i'll definitly choose the same housing!!!
