Efficient, productive and independence.
Tips: The education system in the Netherlands and the way people work in general will make you more efficient in life. This could be anything from planning something small to something impactful, and I think this is because of the independence that is given to students to study what they want with the general expectation that the work being produced will be meaningful and impactful and isn't being done just to pass a course. This culture of teaching is inculcated right from primary school in the Netherlands, and it is amazing to see how productive these students turn out to be. I believe that after studying at Delft, you will likely observe this behaviour and also find yourself to be productive, not waiting to be told what to do but taking initiative and realising what needs to be done. A practical aspect that also needs to be mentioned is that if you don't speak Dutch, then be aware that a lot of entry-level opportunities will not be for you. If you are an experienced IT professional, then the job market is better for you, but for beginners, my suggestion would be to practice competitive coding since most companies use that to filter candidates.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation in Delft is fairly good. Most students and people prefer using bikes but you can also take the bus, which is available frequently. There is currently a tram line under construction within the campus, so connectivity should improve even more once it’s complete in a year or so.
Dislikes (Student Life): Most days in university will be spent on assignments and reading papers and less on other activities. Do keep in mind that Delft is a STEM university, so naturally, the culture of students is more geared towards research and less on social activities, but that doesn't mean there are none. There are various student organisations and social outreach program organisations. Since the education system follows a quarter system instead of a semester, it means the study and workload can be quite high. A quarter generally lasts 8-10 weeks, and the study load that is expected to be taken is 15EC (3 courses of 5EC each). If you are familiar with the course, then you will have an easier time otherwise, it could be a real challenge. The grading system is not lenient and quite stringent; getting a 9 is considered extremely rare.

Great people, professors, teaching and student life, with some bouts of poor weather.
Tips: There are many students of Indian origin at TU Delft, so there is a lot of Indian culture. It is a great place to be. Everyone is very friendly and they make you feel at home with mentors and different guides and information meetings. If you apply early, you can try for scholarships that are department-specific, but later there are only a few scholarships available, so do not count on getting one. There are only a few on-campus jobs available for a large group of students. For those who do get it, the pay is good. Off-campus, there are career days that they organize to help you match with different companies. Part-time is definitely manageable with the academics. Part-time work pays about 15-20 per hour. Overall, I am satisfied with my experiences.
Likes (Student Life): The best part about studying here is the student life. There are tons of events and sports facilities, lots of clubs, bars, and restaurants, and activities that are one-time only. There's probably a cultural event for anything you can think of. This place is a real melting pot, which means there's a club, bar, or restaurant for everything you're into. Not only that, but you'll find people from all over the world here, so you can easily meet new friends. There are always plenty of events, and everyone has a good time at them. Plus, when you first start your studies here, you'll be randomly paired with a group of other students from various countries. These people can easily become your closest friends during the semester.

A good combination of international exposure and adulting challenges.
Tips: Knowing cycling helps a lot as the roads are mostly flat with dedicated cycle lanes and daily commute for classes, grocery shopping becomes really helpful, and one would save a lot on the public transportation charges. It takes time to adjust to the quarter system of exams, which keeps you busy throughout the year. Winters can get a bit harsh and the country also has an unpredictable pattern of rain, which is quite tough to handle, but proper clothing can help. With regards to the safety of women, it is completely safe on and off campus. There are some occasional incidents of cycle thefts depending on whether they are locked properly or kept in an isolated place, but otherwise the Dutch streets are generally well-lit, with public transportation running till quite late hours. Also, since Delft mostly has students and everyone owns a bike, it is pretty convenient and safe on the street. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences.
Dislikes (Part time work): The first year is generally quite occupied with classes, quarterly exams, and assignments, which makes it tough to take up part-time jobs and balance with the curriculum. The second year focuses mainly on internships, which are generally paid and some teaching assistant jobs, which may help with covering living expenses partly, but with the university funding being cut in the Netherlands, the opportunities are decreasing a bit.

Tips: Great university, and excellent faculty. You meet and work with a lot of people from different backgrounds and there are plenty of opportunities to apply your knowledge to real-world problems, giving you a wholesome education. And once you graduate the TU Delft reputation will help you find a job rather easily.

MSc Computer Science - Batch of 2023
4.6
Learning the Dutch language will enhance your experience.
Tips: You should be prepared for the rigour of a quarter-based system, and that of a research-oriented Master. The opportunities while pursuing a degree are extremely multi-faceted and rewarding if you are passionate and dedicated. The Dutch people in the city are very welcoming and even though you can perfectly accommodate them without ever learning any Dutch but it would be recommended to learn it in order to better integrate with the Dutch culture.
Likes (Public transportation): Everything in Delft is extremely well connected and you can use public transport for end-to-end connectivity. You generally rent or buy a (second-hand) bike to traverse around the small 6km cover of Delft, however, it is possible to walk and cover the entire city's diameter (or reach the campus from any place in Delft) within 30 minutes. Even if you live outside Delft due to the paucity of houses within, you can easily traverse via the train system (as many students do).
Dislikes (Indian Food): A lot of Indian restaurants and Indian grocery stores are available such that you always have options. Even though the food options for eating out or delivery are on the steeper side (due to food in Netherlands in general being expensive), there are options to buy groceries (even good quality Indian groceries) to cook at home for cheap.

Engineering Project Management: Project Financing - Batch of 2019

A transformative and enriching academic journey.
Tips: I noticed a cultural difference, but the scholarship was paid well. The courses were also good. The country’s environment was vibrant, and the staff was friendly. The people were also friendly, and scholarships were paid promptly. Overall, it was a good experience.
Likes (Indian Food): One thing I enjoyed the most was how the teachers are very friendly with pupils, always willing to help them in difficult times. Apart from the curriculum, they also give focus on extracurricular activities, which are very beneficial for the students’ growth.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): Faculty are well qualified, understanding, and know how to manage the classroom environment. They use various pedagogies in the curriculum to help the students learn the best learning. As for nationality, they do not judge based on one religion or culture; they are very diverse.

Indian students are allowed to work upto 16 hours per week in Netherlands during the term. During term breaks, students are allowed to work full-time. Students will need a valid work-permit for the same.

No, learning Dutch is not mandatory to study at Delft Uni of Technology. Students can choose one of the English-taught courses. However, for a better student life in Netherlands, learning Dutch is advised.
