Hallo uit Tilburg! I’m just at the end of my second month here in Tilburg and LOVING every minute of it. ACADEMIC LIFE The standard of work here at Tilburg is much the same as at UTS although many of the law classes have 100% final exams. Most subjects have one lecture/seminar per week and…

Hallo from Tilburg, the Netherlands! It’s hard to believe that just under two months ago I left Sydney, completely unaware of the adventure that was about to unfold. Although the planning for exchange took approximately a year to complete, it still had not hit me when I was on the plane to Europe that I…

Rotterdam, the city with more heart than any other. After living in Rotterdam for just over a month, and having travelled Europe for almost 2 months, I would highly recommend, support and applaud any smart soul considering studying in this beautiful city which is now no longer Holland in my mind, a far and distant…
