More opportunities if you are a Dutch speaker.
Tips: There is a bit of cultural transition which one adapts to while living here. I did not opt for any scholarship. I am completely satisfied with the country. A little bit dissatisfied with the course and university. The thesis seminar was very stressful, it could have been organized in a more relaxed manner.
Likes (Safety): Leiden is a safe city in itself, so not a lot of facilities need to be in place. Walking alone at night is not at all concerning as it is absolutely safe most of the time. I did not come across any specific safety measures in the university. But there might be something in place that I don't know about
Dislikes (Post study jobs): There are a lot of companies offering sponsor visas for work but most of them require Dutch-speaking individuals so it's a bit tricky for internationals to get in. It also totally depends on the field of job somebody is looking in. For political science, it can be difficult as a lot of companies, organizations, NGOs are not registered with the government to sponsor visas.

With 30% acceptance rate, the Leiden University is quite hard to enter in case of LLM admission. They select students based on their score in the UG degree, English language score, participation in activities, work profile, and more. Students should aim to score high to get selected.
