Life Changing Experience

Studying in Maastricht was a life changing experience. I got to visit so many new places, see so many new things, and meet really great people. Maastricht quickly became a second home to me and I can’t wait to go back again. The Center for European Studies at the university organized several trips for the study abroad students including Berlin, Paris, and Zaanse Schans, which created wonderful opportunities to learn about European culture and to explore. Maastricht is a beautiful medieval city in the heart of Europe that super easy to traverse. It takes about 15-30 minutes to walk anywhere or 10-15 minutes to bike. There’s also a great public transport within the city, and trains to basically any Dutch city. The train to Amsterdam is only about 3 hours.
