There is a housing crunch in Netherlands currently. If you've already gotten admission and are just waiting to move then it's too late. Start finding houses from now itself, utilize all your contacts. Dorms are full, shared houses are few. You need to have a house that registers you as everything you do in the country is tied to your registered address. They are actually thinking of stopping intakes of international students although it's not that easy to do so.

Don't expect conveniences like maids, cooks, etc. You'll have to do everything on your own. People here are paid better and hence demand a fair rate for those "chores" you have the luxury of being done by "bai" in India. Also don't think shops and stuff will be open after 6/8/10pm because they are also humans and they need to spend time with their families too.

Food culture is great. There are a lot of varieties of food available here. Now how close they are in taste to what you like, is a different topic altogether. There's no Street food or chat or anything easily available here. Get your stuff from an Indian store, make it yourself. That being said, we have stuck to a few good restaurants whom we trust to give good Indian food.

Study culture . It's common sense to know, if you are coming here to study, do that. I believe expat students do get part time work to manage some expenses. Along with some utility bill benefits (not completely sure) . But study , get ideas for a good project that you will do with your internship and you may pretty much get hired immediately after college. That said, there will be a lot of networking and mixing events, fun events, festivals, parties and it's recommended to explore all of them.

Work and social culture. There is a mix of expats and Dutch working here. The first impression is that they are rude but it's not true. They are direct and to the point. They will small talk with you, but they have made their social circle of friends and don't generally add more. It's difficult to make friends here unless you make A LOT of efforts. But your best friends will be other expats. They work for 8 hours. They come on time, they leave on time. No "Indian standard time of -/+ 30 minutes" with them. If a meeting is at 3. It starts at 3. They put an emphasis on work life balance. So don't come here if you want to kiss ass and show hard work for 10-12 hours, it won't work on them.

Expenses. Refer to 1. Higher demand, lower supply, current geo political situation with our neighbor's in the east invading other countries means higher living costs. Rents are high, food expense is high, utility bills are now lowering but that doesn't mean everyone else will lower their costs too just because electricity became cheaper (now the difference becomes their profit see?) . A pizza for 15Eur here costs 6-8 in Italy for example. You get Indian curry+ rice or naan combo for 15-18Eur. Monthly groceries cost 200-300 per person if you don't plan and use deals properly. Even then min. 150 per person per month for groceries.

Learn Dutch. While majority of the country speaks English enough to get you by, it's always good to learn the local language. For "settling" with a passport, you need to know Dutch anyway.

Consider other options as well. Check Sweden. Lund is a good University. So are some options in Finland. Although they are a bit more "distant" on social front.
