So, you want to go on exchange to the Netherlands and think that Erasmus University, Rotterdam might be the university for you. But you’re a bit worried– going on exchange is a big commitment and involves a lot more than just packing your bags and flying across the world. You have to consider aspects such…

I am writing this blog exactly 2 months into my exchange at Tilburg University in the Netherlands and I could not be happier! Bike-riding, snow, blue skies, stroopwafels, a lot of beer and easy access to the rest of Europe – I have experienced it all! Tilburg is a gorgeous small town situated in the…

Today marks my 100th day of being on the other side of the world and the uni workload has finally started to steady, so I thought it was the perfect opportunity to reflect on my time abroad. I arrived at TU Delft at the beginning of February along with 300+ international students after spending 2.5…

It’s been two months since I took the train to Tilburg University station with my giant red suitcase and zero expectations of what was to come.

Hallo! I’ve been in Maastricht in the south of the Netherlands for about a month now and everything so far has been amazing! Maastricht is a student city with a population just over 100,000 and is very close to the border of both Belgium and Germany – which has made it a very convenient place…

I have been in the Netherlands for just over three weeks and I already feel at home here. TU Delft has been extremely welcoming and the last few weeks have been full of fun events and activities, like no o’week I’ve experienced before. It included parties, BBQs, pub crawls, and visits to landmarks, museums and…

I will try my best to capture these amazing last few weeks in a blog post. Currently, I’ve just started my 4th week of exchange after travelling Europe for a month. The first two weeks of being in my new home country consisted purely of social activities organised by the uni for international students to…

After the two-week introduction program has finished yesterday, now I definitely know what it means to study at one of the top 10 universities in the world. I’ve experienced four introduction programs in my life, including TU Delft’s, in four different parts of the world and as a local and international student, and I would…
