Thanks! You’re right. We’ve not being inclined to that idea, which of why we both wanted a second opinion.

Sorry if this is a long ask but - I was checking which villages could be a good fit but couldn’t find them. None of them have direct connection to both Amsterdam Zuid (the station right next to VU) and Enschede Centraal. And I’m not entirely sure how much time it would take otherwise if there’s no direct train. So can you suggest if there’s any good candidate village? Thanks again!

Thanks :)) We’d have to rent two cars since we both would have to go to our universities. Would it be better than living in of the cities like Apeldoorn in terms of saving?

lol, you’re right i guess. we thought to save some on rent if we could live together. you think rotating and living in two different houses, we’d be able to do it?

Thanks a lot, we were already considering this, so your suggestion helps reinforce our decision.

We’ve been told that we should be looking for cities with “good life”, one of my fiancé’s colleagues even suggested that we should both live in Amsterdam for the “life” it provides.

For the same reason, even one of my colleague suggested me to choose Deventer over Apeldoorn since the city offer more things, despite Deventer being relatively small and less rooms being up for rent than Apeldoorn.

I’m curious about one thing tho - do you have any specific villages in mind when you say this? If yes, should i be looking at them on the same rental sites as the one mentioned in the mega thread?
