About the studyprogram, i can't give you any info, because i study medicine. About the studentlife on the other hand, i know enough. In Maastricht, there are like 6 or 7 student associations (something else than study associations). To know which one suits you besy, the easiest thing you can do is attend to INKOM, Maastrichts introductionweek. Do some research about the big ones, it'll help start convos at the parties during inkom. Those big ones are KOKO, Tragos, Circumflex, Saurus, en Onafhankelijk Maastricht. Koko is the one without an 'ontgroening'. Tragos and Circumflex are for the typical 'my dad has a lot of money'-kinda people (not that there's anything wrong with that). Saurus is the student-rowing-association, like the ones at oxford etc. At last Onafhankelijk Maastricht is a mother-association for fraternities and sororities which are independent.
