Netherlands rental agency "Rent a House Service"?
Does anyone know about this agency? I am a US student and thinking about renting from them this summer in Utrecht, so I want to make sure they are reputable.

The first thing I would say is that they have a very small amount of properties available - 38 in the whole of the Netherlands - that is very strange to me :0) They are registered under a parent company with the Chamber of Commerce which is a positive sign as all businesses have to do so, and scam ones generally don't have this registation of course https://server.db.kvk.nl/TST-BIN/ZS/ZSWWW01@?TYPE=NDNR&NDNR=32107357&NSDN= It is registered with the official telephone guide (usual for a scam operation) http://www.detelefoongids.nl/bg-l/16382345-rent+a+house+service/vermelding/ The site looks quite good actually and I cannot find anything online that says it is a scam or anything so I really am leaning towards it being reputable - but obviously it does not have a lot of properties on offer I will nevertheless "star" your question in the hope that one of the other Dutch contacts will read this and be able to help - (USS - especially you as a maestro of scam sites :0))

They are an official company as blabla states, but they are not a member of any Dutch Real estate organisation. They seem allright, just dont pay them a deposit or you first month of rent untill you sign the contract and get the key.

I would turn the question on it's head because you are looking for graphic design courses in English I presume, which will narrow down the selection considerably A good site to get all the answers about studying as an international student in the Netherlands is http://www.nuffic.nl/ Checking the section on this site for courses in English using the keywords "graphic design" then there are 7 courses and at different levels so you need to check for yourself which is best suited to you http://ispacsearch.nuffic.nl/showprogrammes.aspx?action=search&search=graphic%20design&fid=6 Entry requirements vary per college and also per course, but if you click on the 'full description' then they will give the entry requirements or a link to their own website with them As foor staying - for long term course, if you graduate then you can reside legally in the Netherlands for a further 6 months after graduation to seek a job. The time spent living in the Netherlands does not contibute towards time spent in gaining citizenship though. You can read more on the immigration dept site here http://www.ind.nl/EN/index.asp

If you are enrolled in college, then go to your study abroad office and they will help you with everything! Schools sometimes have organizations they contract with (like IES or CIEE) and they also have inidividual partnerships with different foreign universities. Individual exchange agreements tend to be less expensive than outside organizations like IES. You must first find out what kind of programs your college offers and that will guide which location you choose. Any of those countries would be great choices--I lived in Barcelona for two months and it was amazing. I have been to Amsterdam several times and it is just as amazing too. You should always try to learn the language of the country you are traveling to or studying in. It's often considered rude if you don't give it a go. Moreover, it will be to your advantage to learn that language. Life will be much easier for you (ie. when you are buying train tickets, ordering food, at the store, finding bathrooms, asking for directions, etc) Plus, learning a foreign language while living in that country is a lot less difficult and much more fun! Most schools/programs have language classes for beginners, most schools/programs require you to take a language class during your study abroad program, and some have special intensive language classes before the term starts that will really give you a jumpstart and some excellent preparation. Just make sure to speak with your school's study abroad coordinator as soon as possible to make sure you meet any requirements and have enough time to explore a few different programs to find the one that works best for you.

What does it mean when a woman smiles at me from across the table?
What does it mean when a woman smiles at me from across the table?
I was hanging out with group of people at a restaurant. They were friends of my friend (I didn't know them). I was talking to someone next to me and we were having a great conversation. After the conversation ended, I looked around the table and saw two of her friends (both female) smiling at me. They were really attractive foreign exchange students from the Netherlands. What does this mean? How would you interpret this?

It might mean they like you. I mean what do you do when you see a girl you like...most guys smile right? Or maybe it was something else...you can never be sure with girls. but i'm pretty sure we do it when we like someone.
2 :
It means they were talking about you and realized you weren't listening
3 :
she was obviously telling them some pretty great stuff about you. also, foreign people have a different outlook on things. a more personable way. i wouldnt stress over it. women dont smile and wave if its something wrong. they like you and what theyve already heard. be confident.
4 :
Oh come on now. Do you need us to stroke your ego just a little more or what! You know exactly what their smile means.
