I visited six Netherlands universities during my recent trip. Whenever I plan these trips, I have a preconception of which schools I'm most excited to see.

Two of my days involved three hours train rides…

Prior to this, I assumed that an international student would have to know a foreign language to study in Europe. I…

Prior to this, I assumed that an international student would have to know a foreign language to study in Europe. I certainly had no idea that, in non-Anglophone countries in Europe, there are over 700 accredited universities offering almost 8,000 full bachelor’s and master’s degree…
