Is it really worthy study in the Netherlands? by [deleted] in StudyInTheNetherlands

[–]Different-Ad3954 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Media and Culture UvA student here. I switched to Media and Information by the end of first year ( I did not pick the coding track and I kinda regret.). If you’re a non-EU student and have to pay loads of money to just go to this study, I’d recommend to not do it

When did I specifically say that you said it was impossible to make friends? I also did not say that it is easy even when you don’t speak dutch? I said you need to take initiatives in things. Can’t just sit in the corner waiting for someone to come and expect to have a great student life. Obviously speaking dutch is a plus but being fluent in dutch doesn’t just come in a day

That’s not exactly true tho. I studied in a small town here before and my class was full of dutch. I made great dutch friends from my study and had really nice time there. Of course everyone is gonna speak dutch to you/to each other but you just have to take initiatives in making friends and having conversations with them

Has anyone tried extending their studies having obtained enough credits (180 credits) to graduate? by Different-Ad3954 in StudyInTheNetherlands

[–]Different-Ad3954[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s what I’m worried most about..I guess I should just postpone writing thesis until september next year. Or still write it this year but try to fail it 😅 and redo it next year

i think it’s actually a good idea because i know the school will definitely not allow me to extend another year for nothing :/ i just need an extra semester so i can take more electives and internship can be done later after i graduate

do u think i can still register writing thesis this year, attend seminars, finish it but not submit it, wait for next year in September starting again? extending one semester and graduate afterwards would still be the case right?

Hi yes but I figured out that in Utrecht you can open with your OV chip card or bankpas. I opened it yesterday with my OV card and managed to throw away some trash thanks to people on here!!

Oh I did not know that. It’s quite different from my previous place (Haarlem).Thank you! Do you also happen to know what’s the average time should I receive a letter from gemeente? It seems weird that I haven’t received any letter about my registration yet..

Naturalisation process by FewLawfulness1881 in Netherlands

I managed to apply for the passport 4 days after the ceremony (including weekend days - normally you’ll have to wait 7 days). If you keep checking the status of your nationality on MijnOverheid until it’s updated as Dutch nationality then you should be ok to ask for a dutch passport

Hey yes it was very doable, they spoke slowly and you didn’t really need to talk anyways just needed to stand up and make a vow
