Van Hall Instituut

Buy discount card to rain tickets - it cost 49 euro, but it is worth of it..You can get 40% discount..And if you are working 8 hours a week then you can get money from Dutch government and they even buy you card, that you can travel free by train (choose week or weekend)..

Second-hand products are not so cheap. You can spend money easily, if you know when there are furnitures on the street - they are free!!!

You can learn dutch if you want, but I didn't want because it is not very useful language. You can learn also spanish in this town - there are lots of people from Spain. :)

House's are all over the town - most of them are in the worst area of Leeuwarden, where lives lots of people from Morocco and Turkey. That is one of the reason, why your bike is never safe if you leave it outside. House's doesn't have owens, which limited your choise of cooking. And price is quite high, because you pay almost 230 euro per person and there are always four or even more people living together..

I was quite satisfied of it. We had single rooms, they were big and cloose to the school.

There are different places all over the town, but favorite night spots are in the centre. If you are international student you have to go on Thursdays to Gloppen and there you will now where are the real parties..Also it is good to get some contact to other international students from other schools (NHL, CHN) because they have parties almost every week or weekend..
