Would it be beneficial for a UK university student to study at Groningen (Netherlands) for a year?
Currently on the 1st year of a 3 year bachelors degree. Have the opportunity to go on exchange for 2nd year in Groningen (Holland). I am from England, and the course there is taught in English. I am currently weighing up the pro's and cons of taking my 2nd year of study there.. What do you feel these may be?

definitely. any experience overseas will enahnce knowledge, world view, gut feel, new friends. pick up some dutch language, custom, food, lifestyle. many things will change. groningen may not be much as its still a westernized developed country. if u go to a developing or africa or asia - your system will undergo dramatic changes. all pros no cons. just go!
