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.

Tips: There has been an assimilation with people of different cultures, and an introspective identity communion. The understanding of a bigger picture mentality when you interact with students from all lands and walks of life, one means that you learn more than ever. No scholarships availed.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Very approachable faculty with an extra effort to resolve difficulties.

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.

Great experience. Unique courses, fast paced, difficult but worthwhile.
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.

It was a good experience. Living abroad humbles you a lot.
Tips: Please be ready to assimilate with the locals here. Do not stick to groups that only speak your mother tongue. Networking is very important if you want a job. One mistake that I see a lot of students make is trying to seek comfort by sticking to groups that come from the same background.
Likes (Public transportation): Melbourne is very well connected, so you can reach any corner of the city through public transport. You don't need to rely on driving to get around and the CBD (heart of the city) offers free trams too so you save a lot of money traveling if you're in the city.
Dislikes (Value for money): It's not worth spending that much on a course that doesn't offer you any practical experience. In Australia, companies don't really value a master's degree, so getting a job after graduation is not easy. It's decent value for money if your long term plan is to move overseas for good, but it's not easy to get your PR/citizenship here.

Easy going industry experience.
Tips: There is 30% scholarship for international students. Overall satisfied but everything is about industry experience so look for universities that have good placement and internship options rather than University ranking. The country is good, people have more civic sense than in India.
Likes (Internships): There are portals on the website for internships but not a lot of variety. Often they are unrelated to your course. Guidance is available but you have to contact the internships team on campus. Many people do not know that there are employability services.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): It's getting more difficult every year to secure residence. I would immigrate permanently if given the chance. It is very important to choose a course and a career that will give you higher chances of residence. At the moment it's not looking good for IT. Nursing, healthcare and manual labour like carpentry have more chances for PR.

Average learning environment with mixed experiences.
Tips: Be prepared for independent learning, time management and self-initiative. There was a cultural shift in teaching style, communication and classroom participation. I received a merit based scholarship during admission. The allowance was applied as a tuition fee for education.
Likes (Safety): The campus and city feel safe but there is still room for improvement. Well-lit campus areas, emergency help points, CCTV, security patrols and public transport connectivity. I have generally had good experiences and feel safe using public transport. Occasionally, late night feels less convenient.
Dislikes (Internships): Limited support and very suitable internship opportunities. Basic information is available but personalised guidance and active support are limited. Some internships are relevant but most are competitive or not closely aligned with my course. Career related support services are available such as resume workshops and general career advice but they are often generic and not specifically focused on securing internships.

So opportunities were always given, it's just a matter of taking them. So keep a very good relationship with your mentors and anyone you meet in a professional capacity.
Dislikes (Part time work): There is a lot of availability for part-time work however, it is very subjective. Most will tell you and it is true that in Melbourne or anywhere in Australia, you get work through your network and relationships rather than your degree or resume. Part time work is manageable, especially at a master's or PhD level and if you can manage to budget and can tweak your lifestyle then part time work will make you enough money to pay for rent utilities and groceries.
