Coming to The Netherlands & TU Delft

The Netherlands, which is also known as Holland, is a small country in western Europe with almost 17 million inhabitants. Living in the Netherlands means living in an open-minded society where you can be who you are. The quality of life in the Netherlands is rated high and according to an Unicef report (2013) Dutch children are rated the happiest, when compared with 29 of the world’s richest countries.

Living in the Netherlands will provide you with beautiful landscapes and architecture and plenty of historic buildings, and the Dutch climate will expose you to the four seasons. In the Netherlands you will be living below sea level and as a consequence water is often integrated in the urban images. The Netherlands is a cycling country, so be prepared to find bikes everywhere and also reckon on experiencing the various Dutch traditions that are usually colourful and peacefully celebrated throughout the county during the year.
