Universiteit Twente

at the university of twente and enschede the knowledge of dutch is not really helpful. don't worry if you don't. here is a student groupt called S.M.I.T. which you can contact all time if you have questions and problems all time. you'll get a personal mentor from them at your arrival, which is very nive they also offer some activities. travelling is mainly by train (connections are ok, proces are ok: they have a pretty good discount card here). you NEED a bike here. without bike you are noone: you won't get friends if you don't get yourself a bike ;-)

First I lived in a room at De Klomp (in the city) which, apart of being extremely expensive, the conditions were not so good. After I mooved to a very nice room on Campus. Really big, clean, quiet and incredible internet facilities. In the end I moved to Macandra where I met a lot of nice people and also my friends from my course. The conditions are not as good - the room is quite small, no internet and you have to share the kitchen with other 29 people. Still worth it!

the housing on campus are quite nice and have a great computer connection but they are a little far off the city center. i personally would chose Macandra (near the city-center) again. it consits of about 250 students (~80% exchange students). that is really nice to meet people and to chat. the facilities are not so great, dirty and old, expensive and small room. but for me the people were the most important thing. they are great!!

Nothing relevant.
