The university has a nice atmosphere. You can easily ask something to a professor; it can sometimes be quite informal and not necessarily hierarchical. The quality of the education is good; good lectures and tutorials, but the English of teachers could sometimes be improved. Furthermore, Groningen is a very nice city to live and has a lot of international students! However, the housing situation in Groningen is not the best as at the beginning of September a lot of internationals have difficulties finding a room.
