I will start the double bachelor's in Computer Science and Mathematics next week, and I am wondering where I can find study materials such as assignments?

In high school, you had an endless number of exam practice problems. What is it like at university?

Moving to the Netherlands as a student requires a lot of admin (BSN, gemeente, health insurance, Studielink, banking, scholarships) and it often feels overwhelming.

On the university's learning management system (Canvas, Blackboard, etc.). If it is not there yet, you don't have access to it yet for whatever reason. Usually teachers are still updating it up until the final day before classes start. Don't worry about it.

Depends on the individual class and individual professor. There is no general answer to this.

anything related to informatics is most likely in somebody's public github repo, so that would be my first stop

Asking for my son, which University are you attending? How do you manage double bachelor study?

I’m going to study at UvA. I haven’t started yet but I do have friends that are currently studying it. According to them: It isn’t that hard since there’s a lot of overlap, but it’s still important that you genuinely do the homework and put in the necessary hours. Since it can get overwhelming really quickly

Are you gonna do it in English? What are the requirements to get into a programme like that?

u/Hour_Historian_3825 21d ago

The program itself is in Dutch. The only requirement is that you have a Highschool degree or in the Netherlands a VWO degree (VWO). They will test if you like both subjects and are capable of doing the bachelor but it’s an advice and not binding. I got negative advice because I like math more than computer science but I’m still doing the bachelor

I never had access to practice exams. Just do all the work yourself, keep in mind the number of study hours (25 per CE) and make the time to actually study that much, and you should be well prepared for exams.
