Everything at this university is well-organized so that you will never feel lost especially at the beginning of your stay. It is very easy to find friends from all over the world because of the high number of exchange students there.

Amsterdam is the most beautiful city in the Netherlands - you have to go there! Be careful of the housing organistion Wonenbreburg. A lot of my friends and also I had problems during my stay concerning extension of the contract or payment.

Buy discount card for trains (f100 for a year) even if you stay one semester - it will pay off. get "flybuy" cards form supermarkets - they'll give you dscounts. It was very positive experience in Tilburg and in travelling around Europe. If it was not "lifetime experience", but very close to it. Not at any stage i regreted going there
