Which is the best student town in The Netherlands?
I'm thinking of doing a masters in the Netherlands as it is relatively cheap compared to my own country. I'll probably stay away from Rotterdam and Amsterdam because of cost. So I'd love any suggestions on the other University cities themselves, particularly with regards to the quality of student nightlife and whether there are a lot of international students etc. But any information at all is greatly appreciated. Thanks very much for the help!

Utrecht is a student city, there is plenty of cafes in the old town,

Well Leiden and Delft are popular student cities but also costly and difficult to get accomodation in so you would face the same issues and Amsterdam and Rotterdam. Therefore I would look towards Utrecht (still not really easy to get accomodation) but also especially Groningen which are both thriving student cities.

Groningen. In the north it is still unspoiled in its isolation from the hectic west. Just big enough to share all sort of provisions, small enough to get to know it and travel about. It has a huge university. Utrecht is a nice town also. Groningen has many cafe's and cultural events. The surroundings are pleasing to spend a day off. I think crime is a problem but on the other hand it was chosen the most courteous of the Netherlands among most bike friendly and best inner-city in the last years.
