Universiteit Maastricht (UM)

It's better the ABN-Amro bank because of the customer service, they are nicer than in the others. By the way, the shops close at 6 pm from Monday to Friday except on Thursday (9 pm), on Monday open at 1 pm, and on Saturdays close at 5 pm. On Wednesdays and Fridays morning there is a market about food, the only place to find fresh fish that I discovered, etc. Two shops more in direction to the left from the Chiken Kentucky (come se llame) in the Market square there is a Chinese shop and there you can find phone cards to call abroad, inside of Europe it's about 12 euros for 300 minutes.

public transportation is a bit expensive, so a bicycle is always a good investment

Aldi is just around the corner of the Guesthouse. Don't withdraw money from the ATMs when from a home bank - make sure you make an account with the local ones.

Buy a bike, is the best investment, is only 50 euros, and then you can forget about transportation costs. Buy a discount card at the trains station if you wanna travel a lot. The cheapest market is ALDI.

Received schorlarship.

Exchange semesters are generally expensive but in most of the cases worth the financial burden, as the experiences you gain are unforgettable and priceless.
