Tilburg University – a piece of Dutch history

Tilburg University in the southern Netherlands is a public research university with around thirteen thousand students with a quota of about ten percent international students. The university was founded in 1927 as the Roman Catholic University of Commerce but got particularly famous in 1969, where students protested for the importance of Marxist ideas in education. This led an educational reform, granting more decision making to students and massively benefiting academics’ lives until today in the Netherlands.

Today, we from EDUopinions want to examine Tilburg University a little further, look at their academic offerings and check what students in our community have to say about their university. Also, we want to say thank you to the numerous students that commented for this university and the much more that are yet to come.

Tiago spent some time in Tilburg as an exchange student and is very happy about his choice. The university’s staff is extremely helpful and always there for your questions, no matter how many of them you have. As an exchange student, he got very well integrated into the community. Tiago was also very satisfied with the university’s facilities and everything else it has to offer. The only little minus was the variety of food in the cantina since when eating there regularly, you might start missing a little change every once in a while. Do you have some great places for a different lunch you want to recommend to Tiago? Let us know in the comments!
