Is it possible to go to a college overseas like in Amsterdam?

College in amsterdam ?

  • i just wanted to know how it is ? im planning to go to college in amsterdam , are there parties everyday and getting wastedd and girlsss and weed like really college partyy animals like in america? or are they just boring in college in amsterdam ?

  • Answer:

    While there are parties in Amsterdam every day and getting wasted and laid are an option for those who have money enough to spend, do not expect to study. And while you can be registered at a school or university, you will have to study and show results for your visa to be valid. Most students are 'boring' most of the week, go out one night and have some parties. But almost all will need to borrow money to study and will not be willing to take risks on being send from the university. If you fail, you have spend a lot of money for nothing, ruined your chances on future travel to Europe for years to come, and it might have more serious consequences too. Weed is still available now, but funny enough, most Dutch use it with moderation or not at all. Tourists who use it too much have made the current gouvernment propose a 'members only' system, but as it is just being talked about now, nobody knows yet when and how it will be implemented.

Other answers

To your mind it will be boring. There will be parties, a few on thursday but most on friday and saturday. Quite a few students living in Amsterdam will go home over the weekend. Weed useage for most students will be limited to a few times a year. Students do like to meet up in a bar for a few drinks during the week sometimes. There's very few big student housing complexes like the dorms you see on American college films. And those that do exist you can and will get into serious trouble with your neighbours if you try to recreate a college film atmosphere. Dutch students like to let off steam every once in a while but almost all of them are really keen to graduate in 4, 5 years and start making money. The livestyle you are looking for is a lot more common in working class people in the more rural parts of the country
