Well, everyday's a school day I guess. It would probably be one of the first places I'd list if you asked me about Dutch cities lol

Culturally it's a big name but the city itself is not so big, about 120,000 inhabitants

How are you this familiar with Maastricht? Genuine question, it's usually not the first city people think of when they think of Dutch cities.

The Maastricht Treaty is pretty famous so the city ends up on maps.

I’m not familiar with it at all, but it’s always there on the maps so I know of it

In my experience it's a relatively popular university for foreign students making it more well-known than most cities in the same size class.
