Life in the Netherlands is comfortable.
Tips: Apply for scholarships and learn how to ride a cycle for living. The Netherlands is a free country you will get everything here. Student life is easy and you will get a lot of international students in this course. Learning and exploring would be fun for sure.
Likes (Part time work): We have quite good part-time jobs available but the only problem is if you are on scholarship then you are not allowed to do a part-time job in the Netherlands as an international student. Get good grades and you will get a good job just after your studies.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Dutch food is tasteless for Indians because we prefer spicy food over simple food. It would take a bit of time to get used to it. You can cook Indian food also there are Indian restaurants and Asian stores for you to cook and buy stuff. Rest you will love Netherlands.
