The University of Groningen has been the university I had dreamed of attending for as long as I can remember. Getting accepted was not only a dream but a dream come true. It was definitely a new experience, moving to a new country, a new city with only 18 years of age. However, if I could, I would easily do it all over again. The university has professors that accomplish all one looks for in a good teacher, with classes that are entertaining and exciting to get to. It is definitely a different feeling compared to high school, where you were forced to take classes you didn’t even like. With the university, it’s a new adventure every day, whether it’s for classes or even during the weekend. Groningen has one of the best student life environments I’ve seen. Everyone is extremely friendly and welcoming, and it feels amazing to go out and about, even if it’s a plan as simple as going to the park, which is also insanely beautiful. Overall, I am so excited to see what comes next in the following years, with the excitement I get every day to attend a class with content that I enjoy to the fullest.

The Uni is pretty nice and chill. I only have class on Two days out of the week and the rest is self study. The Uni seems to put a great effort into ensuring the students mental health and checking in as well as lowering the BSA for first years cause of Covid. The not so great part is that often times there is no outline on how things are going and no clear instructions for courses and for Uni handling also no help in the housing situation which is extremely difficult as an international student.
