I've been looking for summer exchange programs to the Netherlands but can only find 2 weeks. Any suggestions
I want a longer program like 6-8 weeks but all i find is 2-4 week programs, I've been looking like crazy but can't find one. Oh, it must be for high school students, so this excludes and university and college exchange programs.

Most exchange organizations offer summer programs. However, I sure encourage you to go for at least a semester or better yet a year to get the full benefit of the culture and language immersion. Make sure any program you choose is CSIET listed. You might also check with your school counselor for a recommendation. Reliable ones tend to be AFS, YFU, Aspect, Rotary. You might check out the CSIET list and go though those programs and see what they have to offer. There are around 100 - all conveniently in one spot, and you can see if one fits your needs. You can also check out this website which is full of information on the exchange experience from application to return home: http://www.exchangestudentworld.com/ Good luck!

The living cost in Maastricht, Netherlands?


The living cost in Maastricht, Netherlands?
I am going to spend one year in Maastricht, doing my master degree. I managed to get a cozy room for 350 euros. How much more should I expect to spend each month for the other things, considering that as a graduate student I concentrate most of my time for studies, not going out. Do you think 800-1000 euros a month (including housing) can be enough?

Yes, with a room for €350, you will get by with €800, €1000 is better and would give you the option to travel a bit in some weekends. Mostly a furnished room (can contain nothing but carpet and curtains, or can be completely furnished) does include the cost of power, water and property taxes. In short mentioned as 'inclusief', ask your landlord to state what is included and what you will have to pay extra. Phone is almost never included, you might want to consider an internet phone service (skype) to contact home and a cheap mobile prepaid for your contacts within the Netherlands. And check that your medical/health insurance is paid for. It is compulsory and needed, as the costs of healthcare will need to be paid and can run up high if something does go wrong. With €800 you will have as much as most students, specially if the costs for your study are all paid for already.

As a citizen of an EU member state you also hold a citizenship of the European Union, with all its rights and priviledges. Any additional citizenship will not make you any less an EU citizen. In the EU your US citizenship has little relevance. Most EU member states offer lower tuition fees or no fees at all to “home” students. Some states consider any EU citizen a “home” student, while others require students to have lived in the EU (or certain other qualifying countries and territories) for a specified time.
