Student Residence

In diemen, 10min from the center

Via student housing from the school

You dont really have the choice in Amsterdam, find a place is really hard. So I would have picked the same.

I dont really remember bar's name. About nightclub, I like MADAM, the shelter, warehouse, and escape. You have multiples évents in the city : f1, football, raves

I don’t have any specific recommendations, as it needs to be linked to your future project. In general, most courses in Amsterdam are scheduled only two days per week

HvA has several very nice campuses across Amsterdam. Registration is easy, the support system responds very quickly. I would choose this university again.

During your Erasmus year, you will probably have many friends living in different countries. Amsterdam is very well connected, which makes traveling easy. I was able to go back to Paris easily and also travel to cities like Bucharest, Berlin, and Stockholm without any difficulty.

To live your best life in Amsterdam, you need to be open-minded, organized, and independent. A bike is essential, as public transport becomes very expensive quickly. Managing your time well and taking advantage of the city’s international atmosphere will make the experience unforgettable.

Dutch culture values punctuality and direct communication. Being young does not mean being careless, and even though some drugs are legal, it is important to stay responsible.

30 min from Univeristy in Zuid

Student housing lottery - Lieven de Key

Very far from the university and the center. Nice amenities but the area surrounding it is not very nice.

Cafe Thijssen

International Politics and International Relations

Campus was very nice

Surrounding towns like Haarlem, Utrecht, the Hague etc

Biking is the only way to go - it's the best

Classic Apartment

Expensive, I don’t wanna tell the price

In Jordaan

I contacted somebody who’s job is to find housing for peoples

Super appartement, but no elevator (4th floor), and no balcony… Except that, it it great, next to the center (10mn away from most of the places I wanted to visit) and really cosy

Only tech music… not my cup of tea. But if you like tech this is the perfect country for you.

Marketing classes were really boring and I only choose these courses (because I didn’t found any negotiation related course) Students here work as if they were robots : you tell them to do the conclusion before the intro, they will do it even if it not logical, just because it is the guideline.

Yes campus cool, registration not difficult. But I really dislike the way students work here.

I don’t have the time to travel, I found a job to make money because life is really expensive in Amsterdam. I am glad my parents helped me the first month and that I received the Erasmus « subvention »

Idk it is a great city, you cannot hate it. Be aware of the bikes, it is a bit dangerous. Except that just go and visit places, you can find a lot of good spots searching on TikTok, insta reels…

Save money before you come here 🤣🤣

Finding a place to stay in Amsterdam can be a real struggle. So, the best way to find a place is to take part of the school lottery in order to have a room in a student residence

I Struggled a lot to find a place; however, the place I was staying was really nice,e and I would definitely recommend it.

The social life in the city is really cool. Here are some of my favorite places: - coco's outback (Erasmus parties) -Club NYX (nightclub) - such a cool place with nice music and different rooms - The poolbar (bar) - big bar where you can rent a pool with your friends for 2o euros - Bar Twenty two - cute bar in the center to go for a drink, the place is really cosy - Cafe hill street blues - coffee shop with a bueatuful view on the canal - Melkweg - nightclub, concert hall Waterkant - best place to go and havce some drinks when the sun is out

I was doing the sport business and entertainment minor, and I would recommend it because we had really good teachers, and it was interesting

The registration was straightforward as people answered really quickly. The administration is great.

Depend on your budget

Such a nice city to live in: - it can rain a lot - beautiful city - people seem cold at first, but they are really nice - you will be using your bike all the time - public transports are expensive - cost living is expensive

20 minutes by metro from both the university and the city center

Through ROOM NL program (first come first served, act very early)

Student residence via ROOM NL (partnership with VU Amsterdam). Yes, definitely recommend it. Just avoid Amsterdam Zuid Oost (Bijlmer).

Everything happens in the center or close by. Joining a sports club is highly recommended, also good to enjoy university campus events

Some courses are demanding, but you can also find very easy ones. Check course descriptions carefully.

Ambience is average. Workload includes lots of group projects and homework. Few classes on campus (max 4h/day, 3–4 days per week).

Germany Exploring the Netherlands itself

- Public transport is very expensive - Cost of living is high - Weather can be very rainy and windy - Must try Surinamese, Turkish, Moroccan, and Curaçao food

Joining a sports club (for example basketball) helps you travel the country and meet locals.
