Overall, I really enjoyed the whole exchange experience as Netherlands is a very beautiful place.

I was in a very vibrant city filled with students from all around the world and parties almost every night. Shots at the clubs were only 1euro each! It is definitely somewhere you would want to consider if you enjoy mixing around with the locals and international students!

In Netherlands, cycling paths are common and they are a safe and good connection to everywhere in the country. 99% of the students cycle to school so there are many areas in schools for students to park their bikes. This is definitely very different from what we experience in Singapore. 

Curriculum wise, universities in Netherlands allow students to re-sit all their final exams… something I believe exchange students find very useful and beneficial HAHAHA.
