People from Amsterdam - I need your opinion pls
 

I got accepted to the MSc in Finance graduate program at Vrije Universiteit van Amsterdam. I can't find any decent rankings of Dutch universities, I'm not from the Netherlands and I don't even know anyone there so can anyone tell me if this is a good univ? What do people say about it? Do you know anyone who studied/is studying at their Business Faculty? Any opinions would be appreciated :) Thanks

goodluck man :) and either way congrats on being accepted!

Thanks Kimo :)

I found some rankings for you (in general, not specific your study)

Your university (VU AMSTERDAM)

Here are some others

1. university of Amsterdam

2. erasmus

3. leiden university

Vrije Universiteit is not the same as UVA (University of Amsterdam). It is (from what I know) a University where more of the Adults go, say adult education.

It is not worse than the main Uni., just different.

Where are you from? The dutch education standards are slipping but are still relatively high. There's not an enormous difference between dutch universities like there is in UK or america.

Thanks a lot! I will look at it :)

Yeah it is different.....

It's decent, pretty much all the universities have the same level of education so it doesn't really matter which one you pick

I'm from Poland. It's not like we don't have good universities here but studying abroad could be more interesting. Plus Amsterdam is Amsterdam :thumbsup

This is what I would like to hear more about - why is it different? Is Naughty right saying VUA is rather for adults?

Yes that's correct. Also a lot of people who pick up a study after years will go
here instead of to the other University. :2 cents:

Not easy to learn finance or business in Amsterdam hehe :)

That might be true :)

Vrije Universiteit is nothing like a normal university. Ppl go there if you wanna study at your own pace or when youre not at student age anymore.

Say a guys 50 and he wants to get his masters in physics, then thats where hes going.

I didnt even know you could get accepted there as a foreign exchange student. Id double check cause I think your mistaking regular unis for this one.

It´s a fact.:1orglaugh

I hope that
 

I hope that you make it there to see for yourself, just make certain that you understand the refund policey... Home study is GREATER now that we have online universities!!! What is it that you want to study? You are only 21 BLACK JACK! But Time flies... Hoock up with me I think that I can help you.

What have you been study'ing since the 11th grade? MuffMaster

I'm single, incase you care. I'm 41 6'1 154 lb's. I have a beard mustache. I've been in business for 28 years. Maybe we can shoot a game of pool / billiards. MuffMaster

They have English taught programs for foreigners. I'm 100% sure I got accepted to Vrije University. :) However, I don't want to study with adults... I'm only 23 - I want young chicks around me :)

Thanks guys for the info. It helped me a lot.
I made my decision.
