Universiteit Maastricht (UM)

The European Studies program provides the students a large diversity of courses in different fields such as history, politics, economics and law. All of the being focused on the European Union and its functioning. 
Maastricht University has a high percentage of international tutors as well as students which creates a special experience. Moreover, the tutorials groups are constantly changing (every aprx. 2 months) which gives the students the possibility to meet as many new people as possible.

Overall, I love my student life in Maastricht or Maasi. It is full of students, a lot of bikes and really nice people. 
From a study point of view, you have to know yourself as the work depends on how much you are able to manage your time. If you don't know or control your time management, you will fail for sure but otherwise if you do so, you will enjoy even more your time in Maasi. The teachers are very professional and proper experts. We have a tutor system in which the proper professors are the course coordinators so it is not that probable that you will have him/her as a tutor but otherwise the tutor are very nice and have a complete knowledge of the subject. They are usually around your age so you feel even more connected to them and you feel very comfortable participating in class. Because yes, that is also a particularity of Maastricht, the PBL system in which you prepare cases and you have to talk and give your opinion about it. It's all about sharing. 
Now before corona hits the city, it was awesome to go to the lake or enjoy a chill nights in the city center or to go to complex a big nightclub on the Thursday. 
I highly recommend this city and this university
