UvA boasts a great campus and good instructors. The students are motivated and together create a cooperative learning environment where they are encouraged not just to pursue their academic and professional interests but to network amongst each other, also. As Amsterdam is a very international city, UvA is a very international school and it can happen that in a class of fifteen people, you will have fifteen different nationalities. The study program PPLE, while competitive, seems to provide students with many bases from which they can advance their post-university lives.
