What the author said I never encountered in my university, UvA. Sometimes, yes, I complained that Dutch do all things slowly. Can you believe thaey build the wall of my international students hostel for 2 months and still building them now?
But, generally speaking, I llike the country and the University. They are kind, yes, Dutch people keep a distance from others, but they are kind. My lecturers always kind and answer my questions. Being a Chinese is not bad in here. I enjoy making friends with Dutch people and other international students here. Yes, sometimes, they think you are from an exotic country. Educate them!
Just relax and enjoy your life here. If the University is not good enough, that's you problem. I met some Chinese girls who study English here! But, Erasmus should be a good University. I don't know.
For the house rent, you know what, university never arrange rooms for dutch students, they have to find themselves. So, you can find you own for a cheaper price.
Don't always complaining! |
