The university has a rich heritage and stands for excellence.
Tips: Amsterdam is a fun and interesting place to explore. There are many museums to explore and with a museum card you can visit over 500 museums in the Netherlands. There are also many academic institutions in the Netherlands.
Likes (Indian Food): There are many Indian stores in Amsterdam due to the large Indian population and the prices are affordable. There are also many diverse food options available. I prefer cooking for myself as it is more affordable and there are good canteens at the university as well.
Dislikes (Public transportation): The campus is well connected to the city via trams and buses. It is affordable with the OV chip. Most people use separate cycle lanes. Hence it is a very good city in terms of transportation. Also it is easy to travel to nearby countries.
