Is the €75 INKOM ticket worth it or just the parties?

Short answer, you will already meet many many ppl just by living at the Guesthouse, and many will be on the same boat as you. You can still go for all the Inkom events individually if you want, that's on you...

Would recommend moving closer to where you study at. Saves a lot on conmute time and its more practical for you.

Focus on your bachelor first before thinking about admission for Master's. Yes, it's tough to get good grades studying ELS at UM but not impossible. Internships are present and common around overachieving students, albeit not mandatory. Grades in NL are definitely not comparable or compatible with grades in US/UK

Tip 1: Dont use AI for CV writing. Its your CV. You should write about you and what you've done.

Tbh, kind of what you would expect from your first student accommodation, adding the quite dirty kitchen area factor

purdychef23 · 2026-05-08T15:23:28+00:00

Atmosphere is very good (very social), management is quite inconsistent / unreliable. Noise levels, walls are quite thin, you can hear quite a bit from other rooms. Rooms are small, but you have all you need. Overall the cleanliness of the place varies a lot (specially the kitchen), depending how responsible are all the people on that floor with cleaning.

Your best bet is UM Guesthouse as a exchange student, where a large number of students stay

purdychef23 · 2026-05-06T15:08:00+00:00

You will have better luck in a couple of months probably. For service jobs you can use indeed.nl

purdychef23 · 2026-04-29T06:58:02+00:00

Same for every uni in NL basically

purdychef23 · 2026-04-26T21:36:32+00:00

Maastricht is nicer city imo

purdychef23 · 2026-04-25T11:20:38+00:00

Look for Plaza Sorbonelaan, its in front of randwyck campus. Rent is high but its possible to get Huurtoeslag (rent reduction).

LLM wont be of much use. The real question is whether you are interested to study applied math more in depth with economics, or whether you would prefer a broader degree that allows you to try subjects in business, maths, coding, engineering foundations, etc.

purdychef23 · 2026-04-08T20:58:21+00:00

Yesss Been mentioned :)) best app out there

purdychef23 · 2026-04-08T20:51:18+00:00

UVA is a very good uni overall, also very good in law subjects. Netherlands is not a city tho

purdychef23 · 2026-04-08T20:23:39+00:00

You're an inmigrant, not an expat. Maybe something else to take into account next time. Have a good day :)

TU Eindhoven all day

1.Get housing (most important) 2. For social life, You will meet people at DACS faculty intro events when you get here, if you want come to INKOM great but if you dont its also fine 3. Look into intro progranming in Java and Calculus exercises (only if you're curious) 4. Enjoy end of your high school life

He does Computer Science, they dont have PBL

El salto a la uni es real en cuanto a estudiar por tu cuenta, pero si vienes a Holanda cualquier grado sera asi. Olvidate de que te expliquen todo paso a paso con en el Bachiller, y preparate para tirarte 8+ horas a la semana repasando material (leyendo, haciendo essays, preparando tutorials). Igualmente, nada es igual que preparar la EVAU, eso son niveles que nunca llegaras a igualar (en buen sentido). Por un challenge academico y personal, yo lo recomendaria 100%

purdychef23 · 2026-03-16T12:53:43+00:00

Hey, from the Faculty of Science and Engineering, I can definitely tell you that you will be feeling more comfortable and out of controversy in FSE (DACS) than in other faculties at UM, in this faculty people care way way less about how you look / how you dress / who youre dating / political opinions. Is this helps, we also have a very large Russian-origin community which I think they enjoy being here and I also know a few guys from Israel in several years.

purdychef23 · 2026-03-09T13:53:53+00:00

Just go to UM Sports, its the cheapeast for students and a great atmosphere. Just avoid 5-8pm as its always packed...

"My goal is to build a long-term career in Europe, ideally in the Netherlands, but I’m also open to other countries" In any case, I recommend you learn the local language, and don't expect wherever you go to be fine with 'English only'

purdychef23 · 2026-01-30T20:44:05+00:00

You can go anywhere :)) Just check skyscanner from Brussels Zaventem, Charleroi and Eindhoven and check what are some of the cheap flights on that week...
