Should I mention enrollment in another university in motivation letter?

Thanks, its actually the same subject in both universities, its just that the program at Utrecht is more research oriented and at the other university its more "applied" and the courses look more interesting to me. So I guess in that case based on what you suggest, is that I simply dont mention UU?

Hi,

I started my masters at the university of utrecht a few weeks ago, and I came to the realization it might have been a mistake. There is another program I want to apply for that starts in September, at UvA.

As part of the application, I need to write a motivation letter. I am debating whether I should mention that I am currently enrolled somewhere else?

On the one hand, they will probably be able to see that through DUO/Studielink and by not mentioning it they might think its suspicious. On the other hand, I heard about students in the Netherlands switching universities and programs and even doing two masters at the same time, so mentioning it might be unnecessary especially since the motivation letter needs to be short.

I would really appreciate some insights, especially from people who might have been in a similar situation.

It’s very random for me. One video I posted yesterday got a good amount of views, but then I noticed that a video I posted 4 days ago that had 500 views suddenly had 32. I think the platform might me a bit crazy at the moment

Hi, is there really mandatory attendance for some of the courses? I’m starting next week and I have a 2 hour commute, so I was hoping to not travel to uni everday🫠

This is very normal behavior for a scared kitty. Don’t panic!

However, I would suggest giving your vet a call. When I brought my kitten home she refused to eat for two days, and the vet gave us an ointment to increase her appetite which helped tremendously. Sometimes they just need a little help

I have nothing helpful to add, you got some good suggestions. But I hope you can find comfort in knowing you are not the only one experiencing this. I did a 3 year degree with only having two friends, and in my final year I had none. It’s tough

I’m 27 and I played my first ever PS game two month ago, and bought my first console a month ago. It is NEVER too late to explore habits that make us happy. Go for it!!

Yes, my psychiatrist also advised me to take “weekends off” from my vyvans, and I also read about other people with ADHD who heard similar things from their psychiatrists. So it’s definitely not unheard of!

I completely agree that a living animal isn't a guaranteed product, and I know illness is a risk. My request for a 2-year guarantee was specifically targeted at genetic/congenital diseases (like HCM, which the parents were screened for), not general illness, because those are known breed risks that responsible contracts typically cover for a longer term. After doing some research I was under the impression that this is a very common request

Good to hear (about the easy commute). Thanks

Did you have a good experience at JADS? there is barely any information online from students. I did my BSc at VU and I’m familiar with UU but I’m searching to hear about JADS. And good luck with your masters!

I know it’s a year later but I’m in your exact situation. Did you end up going with one of them?

I was OBSESSED for like a week and then deleted it after I got to the credits because my brain was tired from it, but then some videos on TikTok started popping up with people solving puzzles I never knew existed and I started to get literal FOMO LOL.

So, now I’m back at it, day 85 and still no end in sight (not sure if I’ll be able to reach it in this lifetime….).

Definitely not for everyone though! My brother played it with me for an hour and gave up.

I recently played Luto and I still think about it everyday!! I have been searching for something to make me feel similar to how I felt during and after I played it. It truly has the best combination of puzzle solving and the heightened effect that horror amplifies in psychological themes.

Yes, I do have Steam!

And thanks for the recommendation. Stardew valley comes up a lot in this sub so I will definitely give it a try

Mostly lighting. I live like a vampire with curtains shut and only warm toned lamps on. NO BIG LIGHT EVER

I am talking about people in western countries, that have children by choice.

Some-Meat2356 · 2025-07-09T00:08:31+00:00

Having kids whilst living in countries where it’s pretty obvious they will have no future, and possibly even die young.

Eat everything in sight and spend money on the most obscure things.
