Bachelors in Psychology - Batch of 2027
4.1
Maastricht University's PBL is extremely efficient and is highly recommended.
Tips: Before joining this college, students should be prepared for a cultural shift. This includes walking or biking a lot, a more work-life balance oriented culture, simpler food, and a high party/drinking culture. Despite these differences, I am very satisfied with the quality of education at my university, and I find my course very interesting and well taught.
Likes (Safety): The country, especially the city of Maastricht is really safe. Watch out for bike thefts though. There are often police patrols late at night, as well as the prison/rehabilitation system is very good in this country and the crime rate is generally very low. I have had many instances of returning from events or parties quite late at night alone or with few friends and we are able to walk/bike without a care of getting in any trouble. We observed the same confidence in safety amongst practically everyone else.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Not many Indian restaurants are there in my locality but mainly Turkish/ Surinamese or standard 'European' restaurants. I prefer cooking myself as I can eat healthy and save on cost. It is fairly easy to get a hang of cooking, especially if you are not picky about what you eat and assimilate with the respective eating habits of the place you live in. Doing so also helps save money as you don't have to get ingredients or cooking accessories considered foreign or exotic in such places.

MSc in Data Science for Decision Making - Batch of 2023
3.8
Balancing academics and social life with best value for money.
Tips: I did not get a scholarship, but a lot of people did get a scholarship. If you have really good extracurricular activities and a really supportive SOP, then there is a high chance of getting a scholarship. We have a lot of cultural activity happening, and it's a very progressive city.
Likes (Public transportation): The campus is very well connected to the city. Easy and affordable access to trams, the metro, biking and buses. Multiple modes of transport are available throughout the city, connecting the university campus to the rest of the city. The biking culture is superior in the Netherlands, with connectivity in the entire country. This eliminates the reliance on expensive cabs and public transport at odd times.
Dislikes (Part time work): Getting a part-time job can be tough, whether on campus or off campus, as it requires the restaurants/cafes to get a special arrangement (money paid to the government) for employees who are non-EU citizens. It can also be really tough to manage a part-time job along with a 1-year master's and maintain a social life. But it surely is possible. The average payout is approximately 12 euros / hour.
