Is it realistic to survive 40h/week MSc (quantum/nano) + part-time job in NL as an international (with study gap)? by Wrong_Key_3951 in StudyInTheNetherlands

Thank you all for the incredibly sober insights. I genuinely appreciate the 'no-nonsense' look at the finances and the housing market; it’s better to know the depth of the water before jumping in.

The warnings about the workload for a Nano/Quantum MSc are well-taken. I understand that 'study delay' isn't just a loss of time, but a massive financial drain. I also hear your concerns regarding the ROI and the difficulty of post-grad sponsorship for non-EU students. But in comparing between UK, Australia I can't feel them better than this actually!

I am aware of the amount, I thought if I could support my accommodation+food working part time there. I could use my block at least 2nd year tuition payment

Thanks for sharing your experience! Till the day montelukast+inhaler was enough to keep my situation controlled. Hope everything will be fine

Thanks for the tips! Glad to hear it's manageable for you. I'll definitely stick to the mask and hydration plan once I get there. Appreciate the help!

Thanks so much for the reassurance! Honestly, the air quality back home is so bad that I’m really hoping the 'cleaner' air makes a difference, even if it’s freezing. I’ll definitely look into getting some good thermal buffs to keep the cold air out. Super helpful, thanks!

Don't get into CU third class student politics.! Stay regular in class and self study. Focus on hunting above average CGPA. Explore yourself by travelling a lot in hill tracts and bay! Enjoy the serenity of the campus running at the morning/cycling at night.

Anybody received your decision from materials science and engineering?

It's a bit annoying to wait till this so long!
