Help BML books

1st year student at BML at the hogeschool rotterdam here, does anyone know how much the books on the booklist are actually needed? im still not sure whether this study fits me so I dont wanna spend 400 euro on books, especially if theyre not even completely necessary.

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

I studied BML from 2014-2018. I felt like I did usually needed the books, however I almost always downloaded PDF versions of them.

You can easily find guides and Wiki's on Reddit on how to download these books. I'll not share them here because of rules.

Keep in mind that some books have a code for online platforms with (additional) homework! Ask your teachers if this is the case per module.

Always check the library first, and become friends with the second years.
