2. Common sense of studying in the Netherlands.
1, clothes
The climate in the Netherlands belongs to temperate maritime climate, which is relatively humid because of the great influence of seawater, but the average winter temperature in the Netherlands is still warm, usually around 2℃; It is warmer in spring and summer, and the light is relatively sufficient; The temperature in July and August is not high, generally around 20℃. Because the indoor heating is very good, even in winter, many locals are used to wearing short sleeves indoors and thick coats when going out.
The Dutch are not particularly particular about clothes. They think that comfortable and decent clothes mean that people generally like to wear jeans and casual clothes except for work and some very formal occasions.
There are usually two discount seasons in Holland, one in summer vacation and the other around Christmas. It is very cost-effective to seize this opportunity to buy some new clothes for yourself, especially at this time to buy those expensive brand clothes, some of which are even much cheaper than buying them in China. It should be noted that Dutch jeans are more expensive, and the cheaper ones are about 60-80 euros. For those students who love jeans, it is necessary to bring more pairs from China.
Step 2 eat
The most convenient place to solve the food problem is the supermarket. Naturally, the foods sold in large supermarkets in the Netherlands are mainly western-style, and there are also some sporadic foods from the East and China. There are also some shops selling China food in major cities, which are generally rich in variety.
Milk, potatoes and bread are the main foods in the Netherlands, and their prices are not much higher than those in China. Dutch people like to buy large pieces of meat, and some scattered or small pieces will be sold very cheaply. The price of vegetables changes with the seasons, and it is more expensive in winter. In summer, the prices of some vegetables in some free markets are close to the level of big cities in China.
Many students in China usually cook by themselves, so it is necessary to prepare a rice cooker, which can be used for cooking, making porridge, eating hot pot and even stewing. For ordinary international students, if they want to have a balance in living expenses, they must adapt to the Dutch food market and arrange their own purchases reasonably. In addition, there are many China restaurants in the Netherlands, almost all over the Dutch cities. When you miss the "China flavor", you can also go here to have a big meal.
Step 3 be alive
When students first come to study in the Netherlands, they are usually provided with accommodation by the school. The accommodation cost of the school is relatively high, but it is still guaranteed in terms of safety and convenience. Moreover, the conditions and facilities of the school dormitory are very good, and there is no need to pay utilities and internet fees. If you choose to rent a house off campus, you will save some housing expenses, but there will be more things to worry about, including the distance between the address of the house and the school, how to pay the rent, the consideration of house safety and so on. Moreover, when students move out of an address, they need to go to the local city hall to go through the change procedures.
If you rent a local house, you need to adapt to the Dutch living habits quickly. In the daily life of the Dutch, there is basically no excessive oil smoke. For China students who like cooking, we should pay special attention to this. You need to sign a contract with the landlord before moving in to avoid unnecessary disputes in the future. Of course, most Dutch people are friendly. As long as we pay attention to politeness and respect others, it is not difficult for us to understand the customs of the Netherlands as soon as possible and quickly integrate into Dutch life.
Step 4: ok
The Netherlands is one of the countries with high bicycle density in the world. On the one hand, because the Dutch government encourages citizens to use pollution-free means of transportation, the Dutch people have a strong sense of environmental protection. On the other hand, the Netherlands has a small land area, and bicycles are indeed a convenient and practical means of transportation.
If you need to travel between cities, trains, subways and buses are very convenient. The train lines in the Netherlands are very developed, basically all over the city. Before traveling, you can check the detailed route and time at the internet speed. In addition, international students can buy discounted train cards in the Netherlands, and the cost is basically 60% off the original price, which is quite cost-effective.
3. Interpretation of the misunderstanding of Dutch application for studying abroad
1, upper qualification limit
When it comes to studying abroad, you may think of high school projects, which are either gold-plated choices for the rich or promotion choices for students with excellent grades. In most cases, it will be the second, but in fact, the qualifications of high school students are relatively wide.
You only need to complete the basic courses, and then you can apply for studying abroad, and there will only be restrictions on the applicable stage. You may not be able to enter the stage you want to study, but you need to be demoted or accept the preparatory course, and junior college students can also apply boldly.
2. There is no language class.
Although English is used for teaching in the Netherlands, not all students can pass the English exam before entering school. Only students whose language is not up to standard can directly report to the language class of the school, which has a wide range of settings.
At present, most universities in the Netherlands have short-term language training courses. Students can improve their language as a whole in order to study professionally and simply. After thinking that you can meet the standard, you can apply for the exam and start formal study directly.
3. There is no pre-master degree.
Master's study, like undergraduate study, will also set up a transitional stage of preparatory course before formal admission. You are free to apply, and you can apply directly if your ability is insufficient. This will be a very important content to ensure that they meet the requirements.
Preparatory courses are generally open to students who are interested in enrolling, so tuition fees will be very cheap, just like European students. The school will provide students with corresponding professional basic courses, so it will be easier for everyone to lay the foundation and the pressure will not be great.
I can't change my major.
It is feasible to change majors in Holland. Although the threshold will be higher, if you want to change it, you just need to prepare the materials. If you confirm that there are enough places in your major, you can enter the school directly to ensure your qualifications and enter your favorite major.
Preparation, including course certificates and documentary materials, should reflect their professional advantages, at least after entering school, they can keep up with formal teaching and show their career plans through documents.
4. Preparation List of Articles for Studying in the Netherlands
1, file class
Personal identification documents need to be taken away and kept properly. Passports and visas are required for entry and exit, and boarding passes are also required. Besides, don't forget your ID card. Although it is not used in the Netherlands, it is still necessary to show it when you return home.
You also need to bring a student's academic certificate. Freshmen can use the admission notice of the school instead of the student ID card. Moreover, the original materials of the professional application and visa application submitted by everyone also need to be obtained in the Netherlands, and may need to be presented when applying for admission.
2. Clothing category
Winter in Holland is very cold. Generally, the temperature drops in 10, and school starts around September. The temperature is not high at this time. So the clothes you bring from China must be mainly warm, and long-sleeved trousers and thick coats are what you need.
Schools often hold some more formal large-scale activities. Everyone needs to wear formal clothes when looking for a part-time job or attending a party. Consider bringing a formal suit and a formal suit from China to cope with the upcoming life in Holland.
3. necessities of life
Bring a few more plugs for conversion, which can ensure that all the electrical appliances you carry can be charged or plugged in normally, and you can also add a few more chargers. If it's broken, you don't need to worry. If you have a plan to cook, you can also bring a rice cooker.
Myopic students must remember to wear at least two pairs of rimmed glasses, and contact lenses should be available for half a year or a year; Other things, such as umbrellas, headphones, needle and thread, can be prepared according to everyone's personal situation.
4. School supplies
Electronic products mainly include mobile phones, computers, voice recorders, USB flash drives, etc., which are closely related to everyone's daily study and require high proficiency. It saves time to bring it from China.
All kinds of stationery, including notebooks and pens, are relatively personal things, but you can take some if you don't take up space; If you have reference books that are often used in professional study, you can also buy them from China and take them with you.
