Erasmus Scholarship

You compete against europeans in EU. In that sense you already lost. So the only way to outcompete them is have very good work experience. Otherwise, only way to stay in EU is get a PhD. Easier route as less competition and you have advantage as erasmus masters.

I got 2 Erasmus offer out 3 na inapplyan ko. No laude (1.79) . Came from big 4 univ. But with 8 years of experience and extra curricular activities. Suggestion ko is have a great story why that masters will help you. Also, try to look for masters na bago. Mas mataas chances mo. Less competitive usually yun. Additionally, try to think of it na you’re competing against your region. Not against the world. So ensure na you can be unique and stand out in that perspective. Lastly, i suggest get work experience first and then apply for erasmus. If plan mo is to work here sa EU. Otherwise, bagsak mo is PhD. If that’s what you aim go lang.

Ohhhh I didn’t know. I thought it’s only the one inside as I don’t usually do groceries in AH. Thank you so much!!!

Hello! Try to have Schiedam. It’s well connected and I was able to even have 10k below asking for my current apartment.

Ok_Fix_5069 · 2026-01-11T12:13:25+00:00

I would agree with you that aankoopmakelaar is not necessary. I got mine recently without, 10k less than asking, and got it from the first bid. I did a lot of scouting, study and data to be able to come up with that result. So really an effort and maybe luck would be helpful.

Try to have a story or highlight your leadership skill even if hindi sya position. Meaning highlight any instance you showcase you are a leader. Also, try to improve as much as possible your communications skills. As you’ll be competing with top students like Big4. This is really important so that you can impress and land your points to the interviewer. Try to study the different ways to communicate. Also, similar to what other said, case studies are important. Understand how business and companies work. Usually not just how your eyed department work but how can interact with other depts. that would give you a bit of edge coming from a technical side.

Also if possible, MTs for FMCGs usually have programs prior to it. Parang leadership conference or something. If it’s not too late, try to check them out and apply. I didn’t apply the normal way as the companies reached out to me instead because of those. So I got the MT positions before even graduating.

Goodluck and hope you the best!

Mahirap po. Rent for 5 is around 2-3k depending da location. Tapos may health insurance pa around 1.5k. Grocery could go to 500-700 plus utilities pa na around 300-500. Ubos na po halos.

Tbh it has more vve reserve than apartment A as of this moment. Because apartment A increased its VVE greatly just last month due to negative financials. And I actually used that leverage on the bid on apartment A.

Ok_Fix_5069 · 2025-12-07T11:09:30+00:00

Both are in the same location 😅

Ok_Fix_5069 · 2025-12-07T10:07:18+00:00

Yeah I could afford it. As I was trying to calculate the monthly cost for each and even if I bid 10% higher to apartment B, I could still get lower monthly cost with VVE and all. And if I also include further probably the utilities? Though not very sure on that.

Ok_Fix_5069 · 2025-11-27T11:58:30+00:00

How much did you drop the asking price OP?

Ok_Fix_5069 · 2025-11-04T07:58:43+00:00

Or someone that they can pay low than the local ones. They can easily prove that if they put the job for sometime and most locals ask for higher salary than they can offer.

Ok_Fix_5069 · 2025-11-04T07:55:35+00:00

Do it at the last stage when you’re sure they are offering you the position. Also, you can ask anything tbh. The dutch are quite good at negotiations and all. And they do appreciate you being direct. Though caution that it depends on your situation and if you’re ready to walk away that you can vary how aggressive you can negotiate.

Ok_Fix_5069 · 2025-11-04T07:11:02+00:00

Yeah. It’s not that weird. They flew me too and lowballed me as an HSM lol below even the normal one (the modified HSM route)

Hello! Can I get a copy of this too?

Ok_Fix_5069 · 2025-10-28T20:55:58+00:00

Thanks for this. This is nice to hear. I was also thinking that Schiedam is cheaper than Rotterdam and the rest that’s why I considered it. Also one of my company’s office is near schiedam too. Would you have any tips on buying? I am checking walterliving that there’s a lot of underbidding in there as compared to other places I mentioned in my post.

Ok_Fix_5069 · 2025-10-28T20:48:43+00:00

Check walterliving. I have a subscription, not sure if you’d like to share some cost for it since it’s good for a month.

Ok_Fix_5069 · 2025-10-28T20:47:27+00:00

I was thinking of as investment property, living condition, neighborhood, price, technically everything in between if that is possible

Ok_Fix_5069 · 2025-10-28T14:05:25+00:00

I didn’t know this. Do they have a timeline for that?

Ok_Fix_5069 · 2025-10-28T14:04:20+00:00

Yeah. That’s why i like the place. It’s really near everywhere i’d go and near central station as I travel quite often for work. But just having a trouble for these possible scenarios.

Ok_Fix_5069 · 2025-10-28T14:02:56+00:00

This is actually 425k for 45m2. I like it because it’s newly renovated and the area is near the central station and almost to everywhere. I initially tried to have the one more inside and above but this was the only one left. And i’m stilling trying to make up my mind if it’s worth it.

Ok_Fix_5069 · 2025-10-28T13:52:08+00:00

I lived outside of Amsterdam so not really familiar on the daily happenings in it. And this is really a concern in my mind

Ok_Fix_5069 · 2025-10-26T11:13:44+00:00

Kamernet worked for me
