After all, most of the pictures shown are of private ownership and predates the present occupant of the government house in Ekiti. So relax and enjoy the pictures

When you have made the decision to come and study in Holland, you will need to prepare for your stay. As an international student You will probably need a visa and/or a residence permit. In addition, you must make sure you have adequate insurance and arrange for accommodation and proper funding for your stay.

*EXPENSES..
Your daily expenses include food, public transport, books, clothes, cinema tickets. etc, But you also need to take into account the costs for housing and insurance. Experience has shown that students living and studying in Holland for one year spend between €800 and €1,100 a month.

*FOOD..
Food is estimated to take third of your income. Many cities have pubs (eetcafés) where you can get a good meal at a good price. But the cheapest way to eat is to do your own cooking.
Some average prices: a cup of coffee/tea in a café: €2, a cheese sandwich: €3, dinner in a typical student restaurant: €10. Most supermarkets offer a variety of brands. It is worth comparing the prices to find the cheapest option.

*HOUSING..
In Holland, students usually do not live on campus but have their own room.
Holland does not have a tradition of on-campus accommodation. Most students live in or near their university town.
There are many options for arranging the accommodation that suits you best, but make sure you start looking for a room as soon as possible.
Make sure you check at your university whether they can arrange a room.

*What to expect...
You may have to share the shower, toilet, kitchen and living room with other students. Also, the rooms may be quite small in comparison to what you are used to.

*RENT & BILLS:
The costs depend on the city where you study, what is included in the rent and the arrangements made by the institution. Housing in Amsterdam for example is more expensive than in smaller towns.
An average room in Holland costs somewhere between €300 to €600 a month.
Before you take on a room, make sure you check what bills are included in the rent, as this may have a large impact on your budget. Some accommodations include gas, electricity, TV and Internet in the rent, for others you are expected to pay them separately.
Most rental contracts run for at least six months or a year when you are enrolled on a course programme.

Furnished or unfurnished?

Find out if the room is furnished or unfurnished. The quality can vary greatly, and furnishings may range from just a bed and a chair to a fully-equipped room with an internet connection. If you decide to go for an unfurnished room, you can buy cheap furniture at second-hand shops in your city.

You can also take a look at *Marketstuff*, a website where students can buy and sell furniture and other second-hand goods like bikes, household equipment and text books.

*Check your contract

Make sure you read your rental contract before signing it. Check what you are allowed to do with your room, for example, you may not be allowed to paint the walls. Also ask who you should speak to if you have a problem, for example a blocked drain.

If you have a complaint about your accommodation, you should speak first to the person directly responsible. If you need help, you can ask the housing officer or accommodation coordinator at your university.
If you want to look for accommodation yourself, you can try these websites: easykamer.nl, erasmate .

*WORKING WHILE STUDYING:

if you are from the EU/EEA, you are free to work without restrictions.
If you are from a country outside the EU/EEA there are some restrictions if you want to take a job next to your studies. You need a permit (your employer needs to apply for a work permit for you), and you can only work for a maximum of ten hours a week or, instead, you can work full-time during the summer months June, July and August.

STICK TO THE RULES…

Some students take jobs in, for example, cafes and restaurants through unofficial channels, where the employer does not pay any social security contributions for them. The pay for such jobs is usually higher than for regular
jobs, but it is important to realize that this practice (called zwartwerken, or ‘working in the black’) is illegal, and means that you cannot claim any rights as an employee. Moreover, you will not be insured in the event of a work-related accident. You should also be aware that if you need a work permit and your employer lets you work without one, he or she risks a high fine in the event of discovery. In the worst case you
might even lose your residence permit.

*HOW TO FIND A PART-TIME JOB

The easiest way to find a job is through an employment agency, or uitzendbureau. Some agencies specialize in jobs for students. The student affairs office at the Dutch institution where you are enrolled can provide
addresses or may even have their own job agency. Of course you can also respond to advertisements or search for a job on the Internet. The following websites may be helpful:
• www.undutchables.nl
• www.international.monsterboard.nl
• www.dutchisnotrequired.nl/
• www.studentenbaan.nl (in Dutch)

[quote author=p.desmond]Thank you lots, what is life like over there when you went visiting? Do you classify it as a big city or close to been a big one? Do you know of employment over there as well? Tnx for your quick reply.[/quote]To me,Its a Pleasant city, great centre,enough shops, a few nice pubs. its not really that big ,but progressing as a big city,this is where many Dutch people head for their cycling holidays.
It is a great city to live in, surrounded by beautiful forests and canals, the city centre has everything you could want.don't really know about employment in assen,its not easy to get job anywhere in europe especially when you don't speak dutch,but be hopeful.

[quote author=p.desmond]Thanks for your update. I will be studying at Assen, Drenthe. I really don't know anything about them, I was told that dutch women are proper set of racists in Assen, Drenthe. I wish you can comment on that. How much is their minimum/maximum wages? Thanks for your information. Hope to read more[/quote]Visit Assen many times,and I have a very close pal in Pittelo about 2 kilometres from Assen,I visit there often.Statistically racism Is everywhere(that shouldn't bother you much)minimum wage is about €1,450.00/mnth (#290,520.87).

[quote author=p.desmond]Hi wurajone,

Am glad to know you are studying at University of Amsterdam, are you a permanent resident of Netherlands? Please can you give me some cue how life is over there when it comes to people, environment, characters, work, fun, etc. I will be going to Embassy for my MVV Visa. Do you know about Assen? Hope to read from you soon, tnx for coming in.........[/quote]I'm sorry I'm replying late,got to get some things fixed,about netherlands,I can only talk about amsterdam cos I've stayed more than five yrs here and I can say amsterdam is a city of tolerance and diversity, It has all the advantages of a big city,culture, nightlife, international restaurants, good transport,reasonable school fees,not easy getting a job though as a non-dutch speaker,apartments depends on the location, The good thing is that 90% of people speak English, It is a fascinating place and the people are really the nicest I've ever encountered, I've travelled a few places abroad prior to this but even when I compare it to Paris (another nice place to visit)there is really no comparison. There are several races and nationalities that live in Amsterdam and somehow, they all live among each other with very little racism, A huge population ride bicycles and walk instead of filling the air with emissions from cars.as for fun,Amsterdam is Fun!!!

emmerks: I got to here of saxion and avans here. I applied to saxion but was told admission has closed that I should wait till feb 2013.

I can't even get a course to apply for in avans.

Don't talk about other universities because after applying to univesity of amsterdam I was told to forward my documents, and I was rejected immediatly. Other universities also did same.

The above reason is why I limit
Myself to Univerties of Applied Sciences.

Please house I need help badly. Oppurtunity comes but once, and its already knocking at my door.

I will appreciate your help even insults.

I'm currently studying in University of Amsterdam.didn't have problem with my admission,though I've been living in the netherlands before I got admitted to the school.if there's any way I can help you,maybe in other school in netherlands.let me know.

elodie: Not true. Tou va bien au mois d`Août a Paris.

Paris est toujours agréable à visiter anytime.you vivre à Paris?

MRbrownJAY: the month of August is one of the worst time to visit Paris, as most shops would be closed for the summer holiday, and the city is almost like a ghost town.

Do you live in paris?
