Student review [#100243] for Creative Business
at NHL Stenden University of Applied Sciences

I study Creative Business at NHL Stenden. I am happy with my choice, since as an 18-year-old moving abroad alone, Leeuwarden is a great city to start! It is small and safe, not too chaotic, yet it still has everything you need – shops, bars, clubs, etc. The perfect student city in my options!
As for the university itself, I really like the Design Based Education. I also like that there is a lot of teamwork and that we work with real-life clients. This comes in handy in future careers. The facilities in the university are great, and the student life is vibrant. Somehow NHL has managed to get all the coolest young adults to study there, and I met some of my best friends at NHL Stenden 🙂 Opportunities for going abroad during your studies are also fantastic, since there are sooo many options!
The downside for the university would maybe be a lack of organisation and internal communication at times. There are a lot of teachers, and they all have different options and expectations for the students. This can cause some misunderstanding in the schoolwork and a lack of structure. However, this might just be that creativity is subjective, and it is harder to grade.

Overall, a nice university with the main campus being in a lovely city with fun student life!
