Becoming Hermione Granger

Under pressure from my parents, after school, I studied in Moscow, although I knew that I did not want to get an education in Russia: Europe attracted me. In my second year, I heard from a friend about high school economy and business in Amsterdam. He spoke so enthusiastically about this university that I immediately wanted to get there! I carefully studied all the requirements and began preparations. It was necessary to send by mail a high school diploma and a birth certificate, translated into English language and with an apostille. From exams - pass TOEFL for 250.

The first time I got 230, on retake two weeks later - 232. But, as a friend told me, even if you didn’t score a passing score, it’s worth submitting documents. The Dutch are understanding people, they allow you to pass a trial period. V curriculum There is a subject "Communication in English". If you take it in the first semester, they will leave you. The main thing is to study well and prove yourself. AND foreign students come in the general flow.

In February, I sent the documents by mail, and in May I received a response that I was accepted. Immediately sent an invoice, which included payment for tuition, insurance, accommodation for the year in advance. I left, deciding that Hermione Granger would become my role model: I wanted to always have an answer for everything.

We make friends with teachers

Arriving in Amsterdam, I spent a lot of money on special literature (the price of one book is from 30 to 90 euros). And she plunged headlong into her studies. The schedule was not very busy: 2-4 days a week, maximum 3-4 couples a day, most often from 10-11 o'clock, many "windows". V free time I went to free extracurriculars. In addition to compulsory Spanish, she taught Dutch and French, as well as Latin American history, international law, and the world economy. Already in the first year, I had the opportunity to attend fourth-year lectures and then pass exams. What I did! And she received her diploma six months earlier than her classmates.

The teachers here are friends. They are demanding, but always ready to meet halfway. Often, when I liked a certain topic, I could agree with the professor that I would partially conduct one of the lectures myself. When applying for a job for me, this was a significant plus. What is especially valuable is that theory is closely connected with practice. We were engaged in the development of business projects and completed assignments for international companies. During the years of study, each student is obliged to go to another country for 6-12 months on an exchange program. I was in France at the School of Commerce Sup de Co La Rochelle. The internship gave me a lot of practical knowledge, and also helped me finish my French and get to know interesting people from all over the world.

We go with our sandwiches

At first I lived in a student hostel 20 minutes from the school. One room, bathroom and kitchen, linen, dishes - everything for a minimum of 450 euros per month (including the cost of water, gas, electricity and garbage). The hostel is fully serviced, so everyday problems are solved very quickly.

Three years later I got married, four years later I entered the magistracy and moved to The Hague. Now my husband and I rent an apartment in the center and pay 950 euros per month, of which 250 for gas and electricity, 250 for water, 20 for garbage collection, 15 for the Internet. In addition, once every two months it is necessary to wash the windows. That is, you should find a company that will do this for about 10 euros.

Food prices are quite democratic. The first time I ate in the student canteen. Standard prices: juice / cola - 1-2 euros, sandwich - 2-3.5 euros, salad - 2.5 euros, a cup of cappuccino - 2-3 euros. Bitterballen (a plate with eight meat balls), a very popular snack among students, costs about 6.5 euros. But, as I understood later, in the dining room, mostly visitors from Western Europe. From the East they bring what's left from yesterday's dinner, and the Dutch come to the university with their sandwiches and fruit. I adopted this habit from them.

To be honest, I did not think that I would find a second home in the Netherlands, but it seems that this is exactly what happened. When I finished my bachelor's degree and it was time to think about the future, I did not even consider other countries, I knew for sure that I would stay here. I became a Master of Marketing at Erasmus University, got a job in a large company, beating 1,500 other candidates, and I do not regret that I once decided to leave my university and leave Russia.

How…

... to return part of the money for training: on the tax website special form and within three years you will return the tax on the amount that you spent on training, so keep all receipts for payment.

…find housing: when applying to the university, note that you need a hostel. Renting an apartment is more expensive.

…pay the bills: only through Internet banking (get a debit card with a chip).

… to find a job: study well, have a diploma from a Dutch university and experience. I taught as a student, worked part-time, and started my own website optimization company. I found a job in three months and a second job, which was even better, two months later.
