I think it is a great experience going to Tilburg. It has good teachers, a great library, excellent access to the internet and all the services at the University are very well organized. Dutch people are very nice. You will have also the chance to be ina interbnational environment and to know more about the Neteherlands and their culture. Go for it!

While in the Netherlands, use the train. I recommend you visit several palvces in the Netherlands, because it is worth it: Amsterdam, Utrecht, Maastricht, Roterdam, The Hague (Den Haag), you name it! Train is efficient and it takes you everywhere. There are special tickets that makes travelling not so expensive. If you want to go a little bit further, Belgium and Germany are right there, and Paris is not so far from Tilburg either.

Just go for it. And never turn down invitations to go for a beer, to a party, etc. -- take advantage of all your opportunities.

The ESN (Erasmus Student Network) an organization of Dutch students that organized events and spent lots of time with foreign students, was exceptional. One of the best parts of my experience.

The city of Tilburg doesn't have a great reputation among the Dutch -- it is not as beautiful or famous as other Dutch cities. However, personally, I loved the city and have a fantastic experience there. Meeting and living with other foreign students from all over the world was certainly a great experience for all involved.
If you go, enjoy adventures along the Red Cycling Path.

Dutch people is too serious and sometimes (like everywhere) when you ask them for something they do not look at you. But, when they (80%) look at you, they help you a lot. Although they have to stop their own activities.
