Fontys University of Applied Sciences
speciality: Marketing

Fontys University is a fantastic university for anyone who’s passionate about academic research, even as an undergraduate. It gives you a solid foundation for future studies while making sure you’ve got the basics down. What really stands out is the staff, they’re incredibly supportive, always available to help, and genuinely care about helping you get the most out of your time there.

I really like the facilities at fontys university, you can play pool between classes, you have many different coffee machines, low price and starbucks are some examples. In general it has a really nice aesthetic and it is very spacious. I would like to add that there are many bike parkings, which is very important when living in the Netherlands, and they come with a roof so your bike doesn’t get wet when is rainy, which is extremely relevant. There are many open spaces, rest spaces and group rooms to either work, meet people or just be by yourself.
Regarding cafeteria prices, you have a few cheap options that I usually take but there are also more expensive choices if you want a fancier lunch. In Venlo there is a McDonalds near by too, for emergencies 🙂
Organization hasn’t been the best since they had to deal with scheduling very close to the start of lectures, but the teachers are very inmeresed on the subjects and really want to help you and teach you as much as possible.
In a nutshell, I am absolutely enjoying my time in this university and I recommend to everyone to study here

Great programs and subjects. A lot of projects with different students and a mini-company program with real products/services and markets to sell on – mainly in Germany during Christmas time. Good opportunities for minors and internships.
