"I studied in Holland in Breda through Erasmus exchange programme for 1 year. My university in İzmir (Dokuz Eylül University) has an agreement with NHTV University. I chose to study in Holland among some other European universities. Because I learned that NHTV was the most internationally known one. And I am very happy about my decision. Because I had a great time there.

My first impression was very positive. Just before I came to Holland, help, care and understanding of the International Office staff made me think really nice things about NHTV. The first day I arrived, the university staff was so nice and smiling face. They were ready to help me about everything I needed. I found nice accommodation through the university and I loved it a lot."

"After finishing secondary school and travelling around for a few years, I came to the conclusion that I wanted to study tourism management, and I wanted to study abroad.

Basically looking at the world map, eliminating countries to which I couldn’t or didn’t want to go, I ended up with a few possible destinations. Holland was one of those, and so I started browsing the net for good international universities. I found NHTV, made my decision and sent in my application!

Breda is a fun place to live and it’s an easy place to be a foreigner. Just be open-minded, get ready for the Dutch craziness and enjoy your university years to the max!"

"I thought that studying in the Netherlands will help me broaden my cultural, personal and educational horizons and I was right about this! At the beginning, I fell in love with Breda immediately! I adore the atmosphere, the cosiness and the nature of the city! Then, I had to get used to my new study program at NHTV Breda University of Applied Sciences. It was hard at the beginning but after the first week I started to enjoy all lectures and working in groups with international students. It has enriched me as a person and also my life so much!

Just give Breda a try and you won’t regret it! After the first year, you’ll feel as if you’ve gained a lot of knowledge, skills and experience. But after the second year, you’ll see that you’ve changed as a person for the better! More responsibilities, more freedom, ability to be independent, to work in international groups, to be flexible, to cope with deadlines and stress… these are all situations you face while living in Breda and studying at NHTV! And they are all important for your future development as a student and a person!"
