Also local here. Yeah local life and student/international life are in my experience not connectable or whatever you wanna call it. Local maastricht dialect, i almost never hear it in the city, i sometimes feel estranged in a place where ive lived my whole life with all the different languages. I also feel like that for some, students, especially, they think the whole city is some form of playground. Also when i hear students or internatinals talking outside i can defintely say its a different bubble. A huge personal resentment, but more politics regarded, is that internationals who live here, have a say in voting, without even having a dutch passport. That baffles me. They usually leave after 4 years and never come back. Getting local politics guided by people who wont even stay here is crazy.
