University of Amsterdam; Honest review
Tips: Language is an important part of long-term living in the country. Internships can be done at any time and preferably during your studies only. There is not that much of a cultural difference for most urban students, and there are multiple campuses in the university, so it's varied.
Likes (Safety): It's a very safe city. I feel it's the common consensus that it's very safe for Europe. Amsterdam has good street lighting, a visible police presence, and a general culture of looking out for one another. I never felt unsafe at any point during my time here.
Dislikes (Part time work): Language barrier and visa issues are the two main hurdles for part-time work. If you have both sorted, it becomes fairly manageable alongside academics. On-campus jobs exist but are limited. Off-campus opportunities are more common, typically paying around minimum wage.

It’s pretty good and I have learned a lot
Tips: Make sure you check the dropout rate because it’s a very academically oriented university. Education is quite hard and very fast-paced, and even though getting into the university is quite easy, the dropout rate for my course is 50-60 percent, and that’s scary.
Likes (Public transportation): It’s amazing; the Netherlands has the best transportation infrastructure system in the world, and it’s very affordable, around 100 a month. Also, there are tons of monthly and weekly passes and also student discounts as well as weekend passes, so it’s pretty good.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I would definitely settle in this country, but the two problems are housing and taxes, and it makes a lot of difference for a student. Also, one other issue is the wage gap between women and men, which is an important factor to keep in mind. So check everything before you come.

Beyond traditional way of learning.
Tips: The university is a research based university. Do not expect the traditional way of learning like in India. The classes are interactive and you need to be prepared before the classes. The exams are very different, mostly open book but includes very specific way of learning. The environment is international but if you need to find a job, you will need to learn Dutch at some point. It's an English speaking country but still, Dutch is very prominent.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transport in the city is excellent but expensive. But it's a biking city. You can have your bike and it's the most affordable way to get around. The connectivity around the country is very good and accessible. It's expensive. But you can always bike around which is cheap.
Dislikes (Part time work): The university does not have a network and does not help you with part time work or internships. As a student you are allowed 16 hours of work in a week which you need to find urself. Since the course is quite intense, it's not easy to work or intern with the course. If you take an internship which isn't easy to get since it's a Dutch speaking country you do get some credit for the course but not in all cases.

Academically fulfilling but hard to make friends.
Tips: It was an easy transition in terms of cultural shift since my university is very international, perhaps a bit too international since it’s actually harder to make any Dutch friends. I’m content with the university, I wish there were more university spirit and stuff like sports games, etc. and more opportunities to meet fellow classmates
Likes (Safety): Amsterdam is a very safe and liberal city; of course there can be bad experiences like any place. But mostly public transport is safe and ubers are available. Public transport runs till like 1 am and people are always biking. It's just safe.
Dislikes (Internships): There’s CV guidance and stuff, and there are student run career fairs, but for my course specifically there isn’t a lot of emphasis on career fairs and also if it is, then it’s mostly for the locals. And other than these things, the university will never directly help in finding internships. Plus internationals can’t work more than 16 hours per week besides in certain periods of time, which is very inconvenient since very less companies are willing to hire someone who can work that less.

Friendly and welcoming.
Tips: There are a bunch of cultural shocks and shifts you may experience, for me food was one of the biggest ones. I felt the impact of it over time, it is something you have to adjust to since ordering it and eating out are not very cheap of options. The university offers different scholarships; do your research in time to be able to apply for them in time. I enjoyed the campus atmosphere a lot when I moved here, as well as the city overall. The nightlife is very exciting.
Likes (Safety): The city of Amsterdam in general is quite safe. Certain areas during certain times are not as safe as they would usually be; this is something that you grow to learn by hearing about it from others and through living in the city itself. But as a woman I would say that the city has been very safe for me, given I have always been aware of my surroundings.
Dislikes (Internships): Study advisors, job boards and networking events every once in a while. But getting internships is something that you have to independently figure out. LinkedIn and other similar job portals are there to explore internships. The competition differs depending on the field you apply for, over all you need to do your own research.

Amazing course and great professors.
Tips: Coming from India where I felt the assignments were really easy and could be done in a day, it was a difficult transition because here it is difficult to complete the assignments in even a month. You need good background knowledge, and they aren't gonna spoon-feed or teach you everything from scratch. Before coming here I was told this master's study is going to be IIT level, and it is almost the same pressure. Europeans in general have far better coding skills than us, so it is a constant pressure to keep up with them too. I didn't get a scholarship but I have friends who did, they cover the entire tuition fee. The Netherlands also has a housing allowance, so the government gives back almost 30-40% of the rent each month to support internationally.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The teaching faculty here is really nice and helpful. They had a lot of knowledge about what they were teaching and very well-designed course structures. Mostly all the professors I had were European, but I did see a lot of Asian professors too. They curate the assignments really well so you get to learn a lot just from a single assignment.

Friendly people and great transportation facilities.
Tips: While there is indeed a cultural shift, people are friendly and will help you acclimate smoothly. Although I did not apply for a scholarship, they are available for students with a strong background. The government provides subsidies on certain expenses. I was quite satisfied with the course, the university and the country.
Likes (Student Life): The University assists in finding student accommodation which is generally safe and reliable. Public transport in the area is both excellent and secure making it easy to get around. Amsterdam being a popular tourist destination benefits from significant government efforts to ensure the safety of both residents and expats.
Dislikes (Part time work): Due to the short duration of the course and the requirements to complete a thesis within 3 months it is challenging to secure part-time roles like teaching assistantships. Managing a part-time job is possible, it largely depends on how well a student grasps the course material. Since the curriculum is less demanding students generally have enough time to balance both work and academics. The primary obstacle in finding part-time work is the language requirement since most jobs require proficiency in Dutch.

UvA is a very good research focused uni for AI with amazing profs and top notch course material.
Tips: Very good transition. Felt positive cultural shift. Your opinion is valued irrespective of your gender or race. UvA is very research-focused. With really hardworking students and professors. I love it here. Scholarship for UvA might be competitive and you require a good research profile for it.
Likes (Safety): Safety is not an issue at all. Amsterdam is generally an open welcoming city. And in university too you shall feel safe and accepted. Nobody treats you differently or in a racist manner. You are exposed to people from different backgrounds and cultures.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Qualcomm, Booking. Com, ABN Amro, ING. are some of the places we get recruitment. Job roles such as machine learning engineer, data scientist. Package - 3k to 7k euros per month. Thesis fair is a good way to get connected to the industry. Good socially focused startups are there too. You can apply to companies outside Netherlands too.

Tips: There is always a cultural shift moving abroad but it was better here since it is such a diverse city and language barriers are minimal. Education level is higher and fast-paced than expected. Lots of learning and a great city to be living in according to me.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): You get an orientation year visa after completing your Masters to look for a job and once you do get one, you have the option of getting a PR within 5 years of living in the Netherlands. And 2-4 years post that, you can apply for citizenship in the country.
Dislikes (Part time work): Limited options on campus. There are multiple options off campus though, depending on your requirements/class timings etc. it is manageable to do it over the weekends. Tougher in the week but depends on the course. The average payout would be 12-14 euros an hour.

It is an amazing University, but Amsterdam is not so great to live in!
Tips: It is hard living alone in Amsterdam, more than the pressure from the University, the municipality and the cultural differences are vast. Like there are a lot of taxes that you would have to pay even though you are an international student. There are no on-campus houses, it is all off-campus but UvA helps you to get a house only for the first year. Earning from part time is a must, since living cost is extremely high.
Likes (Public transportation): The law school campus is in the middle of the city with both Tram and Metro connectivity. Still, bike (bicycle) is the preferred mode of transportation for all students. Public transport is a little costly, but still, there are options provided by the GVB (Public transport company) to reduce the cost, which works like a subscription plan.
Dislikes (Internships): The internship board of UvA doesn't provide with much options for non-dutch speakers, and the job market is very strict towards Dutch language proficiency despite the fact that there are many MNCs and English-speaking work environment. The internships for law are very less.

Studying at UvA - Challenging yet rewarding
Tips: The UvA administration can be a bit lax so it can get frustrating at times but in the end, getting into the university and studying in Amsterdam is worth it. The education is top-notch and challenging. The culture is quite different from Indian universities. One is tested every week in the form of assignments and every month through exams. It is common to spend hours in the library with classmates and preparing assignments but if time is managed properly, it is possible to have fun too. I have learnt a great deal about time management after coming here. The economics course is very practical and challenging. Each assignment was designed in a way that challenged the students to think out of the box and was really rewarding.
Likes (Safety): Netherlands is a very safe country, for girls as well. The crime rate is quite low compared to other European countries. The student housing is pretty safe. I bike back home at 2-3 a.m. at night confidently. People and the Police in this country are also very helpful.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): One has to wait for 5 years to get permanent residence and also give the Dutch language exam. Hence, it might not be ideal for some people. The chances of permanent settlement after completing five years and taking the exam are not difficult at all. I would consider it.

Learning and growing at middlesex
Tips: If you're heading to Middlesex in London, just be ready for the fact that the learning style is completely independent. Don't expect to be spoon-fed; you really have to take control of your own research and deadlines. Also, do not sleep on the university support services—they’re there for a reason, and they can actually help you sort out your logistics if you get stuck. Moving to a whole new country is definitely a shock to the system. It took me a few weeks just to settle in, get my head around the UK education system, and stop feeling like a tourist, but it gets better. I was lucky enough to snag a £4,000 scholarship during the admission process, which was a massive relief because it knocked a solid chunk off my tuition fees. Honestly, I’m really glad I made the jump. I’m happy with the course, the campus vibe at Hendon, and the whole UK experience. It’s been challenging, but I definitely don't regret choosing this path.

A diverse learning experience with good career opportunities at Middlesex university Hendon
Tips: If you're eyeing the International Business Management course at MDX Hendon, you need to actually dig into the module breakdowns and tuition costs before you commit. Don't just sit around expecting a job to find you either; the second you get to campus, you need to start badgering the university career services to help you hunt down internships and part-time shifts before everyone else snaps them up. Moving over to the UK went pretty smoothly for me, but it definitely takes some time to adjust to the constantly gray weather, the heavy focus on self-directed learning, and the British academic writing style. Honestly though, I’m really glad I chose this program. Living and studying in London has given me a lot of actual, practical business knowledge and completely forced me out of my shell, which did wonders for my confidence and professional communication skills.
Likes (Indian Food): I rated food options for my country five because there are many Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, and South Asian restaurants near Middlesex University Hendon. You can easily find Indian groceries and spices in the nearby supermarket as well. A meal in an Indian restaurant costs around £10-£20. While takeaways are £6 to £10. I mostly prefer cooking at home every day to be healthier and save my money by not eating out often. I occasionally eat out in the restaurants. So I do have a good balance with home food and food out.
Dislikes (Part time work): I rated part-time work high, as there are good opportunities on and off campus. But the combination may be high in the initial days of the academic year. Many students find jobs in restaurants, cafes, warehouses, and some supermarkets. The average pay per hour is £312-£315. It depends on the role and employers. Overall, in my opinion, part-time work really helps the student gain experience and balance their living expenses.

Great place to learn and grow.
Tips: If you're heading to Middlesex, the biggest reality check is that nobody is going to hold your hand through the academics—it’s heavily focused on you figuring things out independently. You also need to lock down a strict budget immediately because London living costs will absolutely drain your bank account, and you want to start hunting for part-time work the literal second you land since competition for shifts is insane. My own transition was a bit of a shock to the system for the first few weeks, mostly just trying to adapt to the constant British rain, the completely different grading system, and the overall culture shock. What massive helped me out was bagging a £2,500 scholarship during my application, which got knocked straight off my tuition fees and took a huge chunk of financial pressure off my shoulders. Honestly, I'm really happy with how everything turned out. The course and the whole UK experience have forced me to grow up a lot, both as a person and academically.
Likes (Safety): I gave safety a 5 because I’ve genuinely never felt unsafe during my time at Middlesex or while hanging around the Hendon area. The campus has solid security everywhere you look—there's always guards on duty 24/7, plenty of cameras, and you need secure access cards to even get into the university buildings and student accommodation. Plus, the paths around campus are really well-lit at night, which makes a huge difference. The whole student vibe is incredibly welcoming and international, so you feel right at home pretty quickly. Getting to and from campus is a breeze too, since the transport links are right there, and I've honestly never run into any dodgy situations or negative incidents since moving to London. People around here are surprisingly helpful if you ever need directions. Obviously, it's a massive city, so you still need to keep your wits about you and keep an eye on your surroundings, especially if you're traveling late at night. But overall, MDX gives you a really secure bubble to live and study in.
Dislikes (Part time work): I gave part-time work a 3 because trying to land an on-campus gig at Middlesex is a massive gamble. They do have roles like student ambassadors or learning assistants, but there are only a handful of slots and practically the entire student body applies for them. It takes forever to actually get one. If you look off-campus in London, there are tons of options in retail, cafes, or warehouse work, but the competition is still fierce. Most managers out here expect you to have experience already or be completely flexible with your shifts. On a student visa, you're strictly capped at 20 hours a week during term time. You can definitely balance the work with your classes if you manage your time right, and you're usually looking at around £13 to £15 an hour. But actually finding the right job that fits your timetable is anything but easy, which is why it's a solid 3 for me.

Also, don't make the mistake of just burying your head in textbooks or obsessing over your CV the whole time—get stuck into campus life, join some societies at the Students' Union, and actually give yourself room to grow as a person. When it comes to employment, you need a quick reality check: the university isn't going to hand you a job on a silver platter. Hunting for work is entirely on you, and you have to hustle hard to get noticed in a massive market like London. The biggest culture shock coming from India is the absolute freedom. Nobody is going to chase you down for attendance or babysit your study habits; if you don't motivate yourself to show up, that’s on you. Looking back, despite the hustle, moving to London and picking Middlesex was easily one of the best decisions I've made.

Good college to get into UK
Tips: Good college, but the fee is high and the job market is bad. But if the focus is studying and academic excellence, then it is a very good choice. Good all-round development is guaranteed, and it's definitely a fun place to study. I enjoyed my time here except for the job hunting part. But you cannot really blame the uni for it, though.
Likes (Safety): Very good safe culture and campus. Rules are not too strict but strict enough to make everyone feel welcome and safe. There is security throughout the campus. Haven't even seen one incident of bullying or anything mean happen in my 3 years here. So yeah, pretty safe.
Dislikes (Internships): The job market is very bad at the moment, so basically it doesn't exist. It's hard to find anything, and placements do not really help you get anything much other than help with CV and LinkedIn optimization. It is hard to judge the uni on it as the market is tough everywhere.

Value for money University
Tips: Middlesex University is located in Zone Four of London city. The nearby areas are Harrow. She used to live in Colindale, and it was a 30-minute ride from Colindale by bus. I will get a scholarship of £3000 from the university. The transition was quite smooth for me as I had gotten there. Lived with them and initially started exploring London and kind of became independent from then onwards.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation deserves a full five stars, especially in London city. It is very well connected and very well established. Talking about the rail network, it is one of the biggest and most widespread networks; the buses have great connectivity as well. The buses operate on a flat fare of £1.75 per hour.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The quality of faculty was okay, not on the good side, but considering the money that was spent on the feels, it was worth the money spent. The faculty is from multiple countries. Most of the facilities have good knowledge about their subjects, but a few of them lack the standard.

Overall value for Money University
Tips: The feel and the output of the university are total value for money; initially there was struggle and setting in, but eventually I got settled in and made new friends, so this is how my transition period went. I will receive a scholarship of £2000 by excellence and graduation.
Likes (Internships): Middlesex University has a dedicated placement team that helps a student target and get prepared for the internship. They also provide assistance getting a resume and vital information as well. There are internships available for the courses. The only thing that is needed and which is advised by the placement council is consistency.
Dislikes (Public transportation): I've given four stars for the public transportation talking about the university and activity; it is well connected with the bus network. The 183 bus takes you directly to the university campus. I am living in Colindale, so it was just 20 minutes by bus to the campus. Overall it is well established. I used to buy a travel card for buses that cost me around £16 per week to manage my travel.

The campus is diverse, welcoming and lively.
Tips: Middlesex University offers a diverse, practical learning environment. There may be an initial cultural and academic adjustment but the university offers good support and students are satisfied with their course choices. Maybe the students find it enriching but challenging at first especially to a new study style and communication norms.
Dislikes (Part time work): There are good opportunities both on campus such as student ambassadors and off campus at retail or customer services. Managing part time work alongside academics is generally achievable with good time management as students usually work limited hours during term time.

Good academics and transport system, but limited post-study job and visa-sponsored job roles.
Tips: Students should know that academics are strong and self-study is essential. I think reading books aligned with your curriculum is strongly recommended. There is a clear cultural shift towards independence, group work and diverse peers, which may feel intense at first but becomes rewarding with time and support.
Likes (Public transportation): London is famous for its excellent transportation and superb city connectivity. Affordable student passes and a reliable schedule make it very convenient. Everyone knows about London as its transport system is number 3 in the world. Good facilities.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Limited sponsoring companies, high salary threshold and competition. 95% of graduates struggle to secure employment. Only a small share of employers mainly sponsor in IT and healthcare. This is enough, everyone knows about England and the conditions going on over here.

Student friendly campus and course.
Tips: The location is one hour from London Central but we can reach it by bus or train. Buses are cheap but it takes three to four hours, depending on the peak time traffic. The railway station is also a ten-minute walk from the campus. Student friendly campus. Canteens are also good.
Likes (Part time work): Getting part times is really hard. But you may get maximum support from your professors as they give you guidance and direction. But in this current situation, it is hard to get a part time job. The university also offers many options for the right course vacancies.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are many food options available, but if you prefer vegetarian spicy food, the options are rare. The campus canteen offers lots of affordable meals but they are more western style. So I prefer self cooking, which is also affordable. Meals from the canteen are good, by the way.

Good environments and highly knowledgeable faculty.
Tips: Know about the academic expectations and campus culture. About the cost of living and teaching style. The academic shift is stricter on deadlines compared to the home university and the food habits, being punctual is important. The change in climate and lifestyle is something to consider.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty are from various countries. The academic background is quite diverse and they bring a variety of perspectives into the classroom that helps in making the learning environment more global.
Dislikes (Internships): The university offers some support for internships but the guidance isn't extensive and some internships are only related and help in some field of study, not for all diverse majors or interests of the students. I often search outside.

Vibrant student life with strong community support.
Tips: To date, I have had an amazing experience at MDX. There is nothing as such a cultural shift I face. I got a 20% scholarship when I paid my first tuition fee, it got automatically added up. Applying here and studying at MDX is one of the best decisions so far, also my course as eventually I want to do Ph.D. so it is helping me plan things throughout my postgrad.
Likes (Student Life): MDX environment is genuinely supportive, vibrant and engaging. I feel the university community especially the Student Union, really care about the students' emotional and mental health. Being a Student Vice Leader, we have monthly or weekly activities where we talk about students' concerns and feedback. We have amazing events almost every day.
Dislikes (Safety): Because of certain real concerns that international students often experience outside the campus. The campus security at MDX is strong and well managed but the city itself has areas where security at night or even after 5-6 PM can feel uncertain. Example: phone snatching, pickpocketing, etc.

Challenging at first but fun and easy going once you settle in.
Tips: Students at Middlesex University should know that when they choose their accommodation, they should consider whether they'll be sharing with a friend, which can be much cheaper than solo accommodations. London has good transportation. You can easily find a bus that arrives every 5 to 10 minutes. They’re open 24/7 and are safe and affordable. The subways or metros are more expensive but run until 12 midnight. The best time to come is between January and April, since there are a lot of part-time job opportunities in the summer. The job market is down between September and December, so there are fewer opportunities to support your expenses. The MBA program is also very good. You get weekly sessions with professionals who are experienced in their fields. They guide the students and share insights on how to get the best jobs. The capstone project helps give students hands-on experience working with companies in London. The university gives students multiple company and subject options and helps them find ones that are best for them. The University also provide the scholarship option where students can get a 2500GBP scholarship in fees. Also, the university helps the student in fee payment options, where they provide the instalment option to students for fee repayment.
Likes (Student Life): Student life here at Middlesex University is the best. I love that there are so many activities on a weekly basis, and the university shares regular updates about them through the MDX application and encourages participation. It’s also really cool that there's a student selection process every year, where students have the opportunity to become student president, student support officer, or event committee member.
Dislikes (Internships): Middlesex University has a department called MDXworks where the team helps students with resume building, feedback on what to mention and what to write in order to attract the best job that suits them better, career counselling, and so much more. In London, there are so many internship opportunities where students can apply, but there's a lot of competition, and your application has to stand out to be selected.

Perfect to gain knowledge and experience new things
Tips: The modules for this course are taught well, starting from the basics so the concept is quite clear for the students. But before joining any course students should know about the university and professors who will be teaching the subject and they definitely should know about their modules. I would advise students to prepare the modules before the course starts as this preparation will help them understand the classes better.
Likes (Student Life): Students can enjoy their teaching sessions and free time equally and mostly they will help us gain knowledge in different topics by conducting Zoom classes. If they want to join in sports they can and to encourage students' health and fit life, they will give free rewards for walking through mdxmoves app.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Everything is taught well from the basics for people who are new to the course. If you are from a different background they will help you learn things easily by providing guidelines like where to start and all. And for the assignments, it will be easier for you as they provide everything they taught in the Moodle app.
