 " A great university in Amsterdam with a relaxed, welcoming vibe and a campus that's a pleasure to spend time on. In summer, you'll find everyone outside, hanging out and enjoying the good weather, which really adds to the experience. It was my first-choice university, and I've never regretted studying here for both my bachelor's and master's degrees. "

 " The VU is a nice place to study. I'm glad I chose this uni. The atmosphere is great, though it can be quite busy at times. Besides maybe the lack of comfortable seating in most classrooms, I enjoyed going to campus to study. Also worth mentioning, it is very easily accessible when travelling by public transport. That was definitely a huge plus for me. The bus I took to get to uni stopped in front of the door, and the train station was a 5-10 min walk. "

 " I really enjoyed studying here. The way examinations and deadlines were scheduled worked really well with the study load of this masters. I also enjoyed how evolved some teachers were with getting to know students and also appreciated their enthusiasm. I would not mind doing another master study at the VU in the future and would recommend every other student who is looking for a university in Amsterdam to consider the VU. Compared to the UvA, where I did my bachelor's degree, the VU is way better organised in my opinion and is really a university that listens to students. "

 " It's a nice place for an international student (like me). My overall experience was good, I can recommend it to anyone who wants to study in this university in the future. Everyone helps us with anything anytime we need it, so you won't feel alone. "

 " Overall I was not completely satisfied with my choice of study, But the VU campus is alright. Make sure you make the right choice and try to do a completely different minor, to gain a different experience outside of your study area. "
