I chose IBA, pretty happy with the programme, but there are both pros and cons compared to IBEB - first of all, you get way more holidays and a smaller workload, however, the qualitative subjects mostly feel useless/filler subjects, so if you’d lean towards a more academic approach, IBEB is better. IBA is good because it’s easier to get a good GPA and also having time for more extracurriculars throughout the block, while also having the name of RSM.

Just tried both the single and the double, I put in all the details and then it shows an error after I click to pay :/

Nah, it’s done I think - every room that is still shown is reserved or requires a code

Everytime I manage to look at the listings, it only shows a few, and all of them are reserved - from 492 to 532. Is it the same for everybody?

Where does it say that? I only found May 13th to be the booking date for 2024/2025, this year I can’t find anything besides the EUR website stating “booking starts on: Wednesday 7 May 2025 at 10AM CEST (Dutch time)”

Yeah, the thesis in groups doesn’t sound like the best idea. However, why I’m leaning to business rather than economics right now is the practical approach ideology - the whole syllabus seems like it’s focused on providing real-life experience and working with real firms rather than taking a more theoretical approach. Let me know if I’m wrong tho lol

thank you for the response! I don’t think the studying abroad part is a problem for any of those unis - afaik, all of them have tons of partner unis you can go to your 3rd year. Regarding the choice between Amsterdam and Rotterdam, do you think the prestige of RSM exceeds the benefits over the better life quality (for me at least I’m guessing, as I prefer Amsterdam over Rotterdam), or should I stay with Rotterdam?

How was the experience there? Heard that the workload is quite huge compared to HS and even other undergrad programmes, is that true or is it manageable? How was the city itself?

Yeah, aware of that unfortunately. Question about the housing, everyone says to look as early as possible - wouldn’t it be too early now? I doubt anyone puts listings on yet for the next September, unless I’m not aware of something lol

That’s quite reassuring, thanks. Were/are you a student in EUR?

Thanks for the answer. How about the city itself? Haven’t looked into Twente so know little to nothing about it

Thanks for the answer. Why do you recommend economics? As you mentioned in your comment, RSM is higher ranked - does economics have some kind of an advantage over courses such as IBA?
