TU Delft Student Experiences

In General

"Very nice and welcoming. There is a great effort in building a network amongst exchange students."

"I really like the fact that we meet a lot of people involved in construction, which gives us a lot of contact with the professional world. Also, being on a multi-disciplinary campus offers great opportunities."

"I really enjoyed the intro programme. I met a lot of very nice people that I am still in touch with and became friends. Everything was very well organized. I thought the presentations from the staff would be the boring standard intro presentations. However, it turned out that those were actually quite interesting. I liked especially the partner excercise on feedback techniques."

"Overall it is good. The tu delft website had alot of good resources and information for incoming exchange students. For the academic side there was a lot of information given to us about course selection and registration during faculty orientation. Responses from the contact centre and exchange department were very quick and helpful in solving some of the issues I faced"
