Student review [#82372] for Biotechnology
at Maastricht University - UM

Maastricht blurs the line between city and campus. What most students don’t mention is how the city itself becomes your classroom. I once had a tutorial on sustainable urban design, and our tutor took us on a walk through the city center, showing how the Maas River’s layout influenced the city’s growth. The cultural events here are underrated too—like TEFAF, where I volunteered and ended up discussing art curation with a dealer from New York. Even the cobblestone streets feel like part of the university experience. You’ll find students discussing EU law at a café in Markt square, and professors cycling beside you to class. Maastricht feels less like attending a university and more like becoming part of a living, learning ecosystem.
