Hi everyone, this is Amsterdam calling!
This place feels like home. It has felt for the whole right from the beginning. Time is just flying by but I’m enjoying every moment.
Studying is going great. We just had the first exam week this week. We only had one very big exam, which we had to study for. Beside that we had some projects of course. We have eight exchange students and 21 Dutch students in our class. Such nice people! And it is a good way to get to know local people. On Monday we will start Unit 2. I can’t believe it’s the halfway already.
I’m living in a student apartment and I’ve made such good friends here. There is always someone to talk to, go to the gym with, do homework with etc. And if I want to be alone, I just come into my room. It’s a very nice way of living.
Everything has been very well-organized for exchange students in here. But I heard it is like that everywhere in Holland. Beside that Dutch people speak fluent English so it is super easy to get help if needed!
We have every Monday and Wednesday off from school, which is great so that we have time to do everything else too. Since I’m an exchange student, I want to go and see as much as possible. I have explored Amsterdam quite well but there’s still a lot to see. I also visited Rotterdam and some other smaller cities in the Netherlands. I also visited Disneyland Paris and next weekend I’m heading to Berlin with a friend. This is a very good chance to experience as much as possible!
I love the Netherlands and especially Amsterdam. It is a very open-minded city and it has been very easy to fit in. Luckily I still have a couple of months left to enjoy my time here.
