Not to use harsh words but Dutch culture is extremely toxic towards people who do not resemble their look and do not conform to their culture The school is extremely arrogant and disrespectful to people and caused me severe mental health stress and social isolation I believe such school is never place for exchanging knowledge or anything in fact the school bullying, and stereotypes towards autism on top of their staggering level of racism is insane. If you complaint about the racism of the people there, they will never take you seriously or initiate investigations One of the most regretful incidents of my life has been chosen to come to this school and that I regret very much If you’re of East Asian background, unless you have very good resistance to Dutch people’s “jokes” and passive aggression, I will almost certainly hope you never attend this school.

A good program to get to know different aspects of your study. Courses share an interaction with one main project in each quartile. Most teachers love their job and are interesting to listen to. The campus is set up really nicely, good to enjoy during breaks.
Erasmus university especially RSM is known as one of the best business school in Europe. IBA is a great program for anyone would like to study business. The curriculum cover broad topics in business area with a possibility to choose your specialization. Also there are a lot of opportunities to participate in exchange, internship, or minor in other faculties. I would recommend this program for anyone interested in business study.

I like the possibility to self study, find materials and information, as well as the freedom of learning what I am interested in, while receiving feedback from my teachers which helps me getting on the right track.
Saxion - CMGT - Creative Media and Game Technologies - 2.5/5 TLDR: I only recommend the CMGT course to someone who is already disciplined to REALLY study the gaming topic they are interested in outside the dedicated time for the university. If you are looking for a course that makes you "game industry ready" look elsewhere. I finished the CMGT (Creative Media and Game Technologies) course as an artist in 2022. I went to Saxion (Enschede) with the dream of becoming a concept artist for video games (as advertised on the official website), after 4 years and €10000 dept I can say that I would have gotten the same knowledge out of top €1000 in relevant courses. A lot of the topics we went through are just "oh that's interesting to know, so when can I learn to draw concept art?". There was a lack of focus for artist in general (2D and 3D), you never get deep into any topic and most things except the bare basics are for you to learn in your own time. In addition, the amount of actual gaming projects is laughable for a course that advertises itself as gaming focused. But there were good things, even great things. The fellow students were very great partners and the teachers are knowledgeable and easy going. There is a very low focus on "memorize this and write it down" type test. 95% of the (art) grades are project based, meaning you create something (concepts, prototypes etc.) with other CMGT students (Other branches of CMGT are programmer and designer). Enschede itself is a great city to life in, with more than enough places to visit to fill the years with activities. In the last 2 years the students focus on larger projects, and for me, it was the case that the actual document that will be uploaded is much, much more important than the actual product we create. This was very frustrating because as an artist, I want to make things, not write documents all day. I would only recommend the CMGT to someone that is: 1) In need of a guided education about the basics of game making (equivalent of easy to get courses online) but more expensive of course 2) Interested in living in the Netherlands and experiencing the culture 3) Looking for an "easy" bachelor that can be obtained if you put in a bit of effort 4) A hardworking individual that does the bachelor on the side while advancing in their own domain of interest. Afterword: At the end of my study, I was so removed from what I actually wanted to learn that I could not advance professionally in the field I wanted to work in (concept art). Instead, I learned some things about UI design, which to be honest is a topic I really don't care about. **Important Note: The last 2 years of my studies were impacted by the covid pandemic.
