Kastu feedback about the program after the visit

• At RU students have to really like to do research, to write and to analyze, because most of the assignments are written.
• RU has free writing classes at which students can attend if they struggle with academic writing (most of the students attends them).
• Students mostly can learn Dutch for free and get 50% discount to learn other languages like Spanish, Chinese or other 15 languages.
• Easy to find a job as a student – lots of shops, bars, restaurants. Student who gave me a tour said all his friends found a job in 2-3 months.
