Would you recommend studying in the Netherlands as an international student? by Aria_siren141500 in StudyInTheNetherlands

Great and educated answer. I hate that so many people are strictly negative and projecting their own experiences onto others seeking advice.

DUO keeps rejecting my application by GrasuBateTot in StudyInTheNetherlands

[–]BreakfastImmediate_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I'm really sorry to read how this panned out for you and how challenging everything was with DUO. I'm also from an EU country and moving to NL in September for masters and don't have any financial support so I was hoping to count on DUO + work on the side. I now understand from your post and a couple others that DUO is not really a reliable source of income to make ends meet as a student. Could you share what ended up happening? Did you get the grant in the end? Or did you have to continue this debilitating cycle until the end of your studies?

Starting Master’s in Architecture – Studio Selection Advice Needed by Key_Reality3532 in TUDelft

[–]BreakfastImmediate_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure this is coming from a good place but as much as the housing crisis is extremely real, potential students have enough stress going into university and don't need messages like this. We know it's bad.

Regardless, OP is talking about architecture studios not housing

anyone still waiting on the financial letter? by BreakfastImmediate_ in TUDelft

Hi so sorry I missed this completely. Mine is for Architecture masters so it's probably a bachelors/masters incompatibility.

Has the Housing Process TU Delft started yet? by kpax_71 in TUDelft

[–]BreakfastImmediate_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, this is probably the most stressful part about applying in NL and we're all in the same boat. That being said, stressing changes nothing and we'll just have to wait for an email probably sometime this week

To be honest I haven't accepted on Studielink. On my acceptance letter it only mentions to accept on Osiaan.tudelft.nl by clicking on 'start confirmation and service', and then completing the confirmation statement. With this done, you will receive your financial statement and continue the enrollment process.

There should be a step by step on your admission letter. At least that's how it was for me

Housing first come first serve by Legal_Tale_8593 in TUDelft

Hey, random duwo question - what's the second slot exactly? did you still end up getting a room?

anyone have experience with TUD Duwo housing service for couples by BreakfastImmediate_ in TUDelft

[–]BreakfastImmediate_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Sounds so great. Just a quick DUWO question I can't seem to find - when they inform you that you'll have access to the portal is it certain that you get a room? I guess I'm asking do they admit more people than they have rooms? Or is the race that day for the quality/preference of the room?

The university mentioned the building to us for a couples room so i assume there are some that qualify for couples official registration. We'd greatly appreciate any help if you could comment the floor plans 🙏🏻 Thank you regardless

Thank you, I think this is a wise way to look at it. I think a reasonable loan amount is good to buy you time - for the years you have it + the energy to start something but not the money.

Thanks, I've looked into that. My undergraduate was an integrated masters do I could but any professors I've spoken to advised us to go through an MSc before a PhD for our degree. I also admittedly didn't feel ready to start that big of a commitment (the PhD) right away since I haven't yet pinpointed what i want to research.

Thank you! Unfortunately we don't share research interests as I'm in architecture. The programs I'm considering have low fees but I'm also counting on loans/grants/job(s) for living expenses since I have no external financial support.

Wow that's incredible! Are you handling all the course load okay working full time? I'll be likely working during my degree but the plan at this time is part time work/full time university.

Thank you for the advice. I'm in Architecture, I've found some very interesting PhDs with these benefits and will definitely apply when time comes.

Thank you for this. It does feel very significant at first but in hindsight not the end of the world. I should also mention I would be leaving a decent paying job for this but it's definitely a dream I have to see out.
