What should international students know about the Dutch people and their way of life.

The Dutch people are very open to each other. It is in our nature. We accept new people into our social groups very easily. We don’t judge people on their appearance or how they walk. We pick our friends based on common interests and how other people react to us. When Dutch people bond, they feel a lot more confident about sharing personal experiences and feelings with each other.  That’s why the Dutch people work better in groups than they do when they work alone. So if you’re very social, you are a people person and you like to study abroad, then The Netherlands is your best choice.

When it comes to studying, we don’t differ from any other country. The basic cliques will always be there. So it’s best to just be yourself and be friendly to each other. We don’t have different visions on educations and our future than Americans do. Sure, there will always be people who don’t take their work as seriously as other people, but we all share one goal: getting a diploma.
