Cozy Maastricht, Netherlands

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

Peaceful, laidback, cozy, charming. I would definitely recommend it. It is large enough to see many interesting things, and small enough to get familiar with the city in a short period of time. Very nice around Christmas time!

What is the student lifestyle like in Maastricht?

If you choose to join a student association, partying will surely be part of the programme. There's no real discotheques, mostly bars, some with dance floors. Therefore, Maastricht is also interesting for those who party not-so-hard. Bars for beer lovers, like Falstaff or Take two, cocktail lounges, coffee places, etc.

For those more interested in alternative music and lifestyle, there are many parties at the squat Landbouwbelang (LBB)
