I have spent most of my time as a students at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, in the program of International Business Administration. Many improvements have been made during my time there, especially in management and the course content of the program. Besides that, there are more options for self-service via VU-net. The information is not always accessible in a way that is straightforward, but it is easy to find the right person that is actually knowledgeable. The VU could be more professional, and be more helpful, but staff and professors have a high work load and conflicting priorities such as becoming prestigious researchers, teaching and having a good time. The facilities are good and I found the VU a very friendly environment. They want you to succeed, so there are always ways outside the systems to solve a problem. The international office has been excellent in dealing with all the exchange communication, especially given that there are many partner universities of the VU. The VU is all about teamwork, which is challenging, and also about individual work ethics. I love most that there are active communities of people that you can see everywhere, at events, the sports center and the Uilenstede campus. And of course the international environment, having the opportunity to meet so many international students!
