I chose to study at VU Amsterdam because:

I chose the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam because of its renowned academic history, highly diverse student body, and extracurricular activities. Beyond the university itself, I have always had a deep fascination with how efficient and well-thought Dutch spatial and social planning is, so I felt compelled to go. I feel grateful to have been part of the student body for the six or so months I was there. 

My favourite course at VU Amsterdam was:

Urban Studies

Hobbies and Interests:

My hobbies include music, playing the piano, and singing. While I was at the VU, I joined the VU Koor, which was a very interesting and exciting experience. I got to meet with people from diverse backgrounds and characters, which made me feel very happy to be there.

Something about me:

I am passionate about languages, music, and culture, and I absolutely love traveling.

Golden tip for prospective students:

If you are into singing, do not miss the VU Koor!
