Experience in Leeuwarden, Netherlands by Alana

What is it like to live in Leeuwarden? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?

It is a small town with cute litte houses and "graachten". Parties everywhere, full of students.
The food unfortunately sucks ;-)

What is the student lifestyle like in Leeuwarden?

It is ok if you have nice roommates. Studying at Stenden is nice, but sometimes a bit stressful.

How much does it cost to live in Leeuwarden?

Depending on the rent I guess in total 700 euros a month (everything included).

Is it difficult to find accommodation in Leeuwarden? Is there any advice you can give?

It can be difficult to find a nice place because there are so many students and I would never go to a real estate agency.
There is a facebook page where you can find rooms more easily.

I never go out for dinner. It is expensive and not very good.
