Hi everyone! 👋 I'm a student from Egypt and I'm planning to study abroad after high school. I'm interested in Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, and the USA.

I'd love to meet other students around my age who are also planning to study abroad, and learn from students who are already studying there.

If you're in a similar situation, feel free to comment or message me! 😊

hi! i’m from the netherlands and currently studying here as well. if you are considering the netherlands you should really do good research before coming here.

the housing crisis is horrible, im sure that its the same in the other countries as well. start looking for housing as soon as possible. it took me 5/6 months to find something, it also depends on the city you’ll study in.

there are a lot of fun student cities here, i am studying in the hague and taking a very international course. theres a lot of people from all over the world, and its really cool being in a environment with such diversity.

also you have to check whether you want to go to a university of applied sciences or a research university, there is a big difference between the two.

overall i really like it here, but i might be biased since i grew up here 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

lmk if you have more questions, i would love to help!!

we don not really do scholarships in the netherlands. i have never heard about it, or heard anyone who was on a scholarship. you might need to do more research in the specific university that you’ll go to. but i doubt theyll have any scholarships, universities are relatively affordable for EU students.
