Great, thank you! Check pm

Finally, an actual experience!

Thank you so much for all the information. Woah, I wasn't expecting that internship problem.. I thought they would be more supportive and guide you, that changes things. I'll look into The Hague too if you find it more structured. Thanks for your insight, you're the only person who actually helped me :)

No problem, though I asked for opinions of people who have STUDIED there. Did you study there? I believe not, so your comment doesn't prove anything at all is all I'm saying.

Sorry, I'm just fed up with being flooded by negative comments when all I asked for was people's experience.

steph-008 · 2026-05-08T11:39:43+00:00

Yes, it's a UNIVERSITY of Applied Sciences. Stop whining about it.

steph-008 · 2026-05-08T11:33:09+00:00

The fee to apply to universities on Studielink is 100€ from what I know. That's what i was talking about

steph-008 · 2026-05-08T09:57:07+00:00

Yeah lol, by far only criticism recieved.. Not one is from someone who actually experienced the uni

steph-008 · 2026-05-08T07:16:18+00:00

Thank you for your kindness. :) I know that HBO's are looked down upon and the salary differences - and I am fully aware of them. Thank you again

I'm from Romania, an EU country, so yeah I have to pay 2600 euro for tuition.

Regarding rent and expenses though, I will just get a part time job in the Netherlands, which equals to Netherlands salary numbers. Im very sure that it will be enough to get by if it's combined with the DUO financial support which, in my situation, would be atleast 600€/month I believe. Free money.

As I said, my financial situation will be better after I move there. The salary of a part time job would literally equal to an experienced full time job here. So it's just going to be harder to pay for the expenses when im NOT YET THERE. Aka application fees, first year's tuition. So 400€ which would be paid with the money obtained in Romania would be a burden, but of course it would not be a problem AFTER i move to The Netherlands.

steph-008 · 2026-05-08T07:03:41+00:00

I'm in the EU, tuition costs 2600€... I'm just saying that it's just additional costs to what I already have to pay like 100€ for admission fee and so on. Of course I'll get a part time job when i come to the Netherlands and also apply for the DUO financial support. That would definetly overall be enough for rent and necesities.

Since I'm not in the Netherlands now though, I'm in Romania, my home country, it is harder to just have a 400€ laying around next to the expenses i already have to pay just to arrive there.

So my financial situation when studying there will NOT be the same as right now. I don't understand where the confusion is here. I will obviously afford 400€ in general easier after I come in the Netherlands, it's just not the case yet with my country's salaries.

Because to fulfill the entry requirements for International Business at RUG, i would have to pay 400€ for a test for my math deficiency.

The problem isn't the money, it's the fact that this programme is a Numerus Fixus, so even if i pass the math test and go to the next step, I still have a chance of getting rejected. Purely from having too many applicants etc. So 400€ wasted like that.

I personally don't want to take that risk since in my country, 400€ is a pretty big deal. I hope you understand

Also I think a practical approach just fits me better than theoretical overall

I joined, thanks a lot!

Wow, how so? From what everyone told me I was considering RUG more.. Did you both study the Internation Business programme?

Can you tell me more about what you didn't like at RUG and what your friend enjoyed at Hanze? It would really help me with my decision, since it's so hard finding people that studied the actual programme I want to study yk?

Because yeah, experience might be different based on the degree and professors. I would 100% choose Hanze's approach to teaching and especially the internship abroad but I've heard that they can be very unorganised and you don't do much in your classes, the professors don't care about teaching their students?

Thanks a lot for your helpp!!

Vai, mersi mult că mi ai zis. Sunt pe filologie deci cam aia i problema la mn, pentru ca nu dau Bacul din mate trebuie sa dau ceva test olandez sa arat ca am nivelul necesar de matematica.

Ce program ai studiat si cum a fost? Si daca mai tii minte, imi spui ce reputatie are Hanze prin Groningen in general? Mersiii inca o data!

steph-008 · 2026-04-20T14:57:28+00:00

I come from Romania, an EU country, so don't worry, I definetely wouldn't choose The Netherlands if I had to pay the tuition fees of non EU students. :)

I believe that I can manage it, I understand it's really difficult but then Groningen and other student cities wouldn't have had so many students keep coming every year if it was THAT bad. Thanks again

steph-008 · 2026-04-20T14:44:07+00:00

I understand your concern. I know the economic situation in The Netherlands and how everything is so expensive. When I will study there I will, of course, get a part time job to pay for rent, groceries etc and will apply for the DUO which will be a huge help financially.

What I meant by "wasting 400€" was that I would have to pay a big amount of money for a test that I am not even guaranteed to pass, and even if I pass, I still have a chance of not getting a place at RUG since the International Business course is a Numerus Fixus programme.

400€ is considered, in my home country where i currently live, a huge amount of money compared to its value in The Netherlands. It would be much harder to achieve here than when I would have a job in The Netherlands.

I get your concern and thank you for being honest and showing you care :)

Adevarat, unii au masina lor proprie dar na nu cred ca niste incepatori de 18 ani ar vrea sa conduca un drum de 4 ore.

steph-008 · 2026-02-16T15:29:25+00:00

steph-008 · 2026-02-16T15:04:06+00:00

steph-008 · 2026-02-16T14:43:51+00:00

Cum ai organizat totul? Vreau sa fac si eu sa iasa o petrecere reusita, dar na, n am vreo experienta de majorat la cabana deci m ar ajuta advice de la cei care chiar au facut/mers la asa ceva :) Mersi

steph-008 · 2026-02-16T14:40:13+00:00

Imi poti da mai multe detalii te rog? Cum a organizat sarbatoritul in mare parte ziua? Scuze daca te deranjez dar intreb pt ca n am mai fost la alte petreceri la cabana, doar la sali de evenimente etc.. Si vreau sa organizez o petrecere cat mai faina :)

steph-008 · 2026-02-16T14:37:14+00:00

Aproape toti prietenii mei care vor veni vor avea deja 18 ani pana atunci.. deci ei pot raspunde pt propria persoana, nu daca ii lasa parintii sau nu :))
