it's sad to say-but there was no need to learn dutch-everyone speaks english, and all of the other international students only had a common language of english, plus dutch is IMPOSSIBLE to learn and they would speak english back at you if you tried to speak dutch

Museum Cards. They cost about 22 Euro but well worth it. They let you get into most of the Museums in Amsterdam for free, or a fraction of the price.
