People from all over the world come to study at the university and improve their English. Given the large student population there\u2019s rarely a time where something isn\u2019t going on in one of the city squares, the Vrijthof and the Market, especially in the summer. The student organisation<br \/>\nISN regularly puts on events and trips for exchange students, and you can\u2019t miss their infamous CANTUS nights (think karaoke meets Oktoberfest) or their \u2018Discover\u2019 weekend trips.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/qut-exchange-students\/files\/2017\/12\/Kellie-Amos-Maastricht-University-2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-5030\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/qut-exchange-students\/files\/2017\/12\/Kellie-Amos-Maastricht-University-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"259\" height=\"241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/gone-global\/files\/2017\/12\/Kellie-Amos-Maastricht-University-2.png 323w, https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/gone-global\/files\/2017\/12\/Kellie-Amos-Maastricht-University-2-300x279.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 259px) 100vw, 259px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/qut-exchange-students\/files\/2017\/12\/Kellie-Amos-Maastricht-University.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-5032\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/qut-exchange-students\/files\/2017\/12\/Kellie-Amos-Maastricht-University.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"226\" height=\"155\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/qut-exchange-students\/files\/2017\/12\/Kellie-Amos-Maastricht-University-3.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-5031\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/qut-exchange-students\/files\/2017\/12\/Kellie-Amos-Maastricht-University-3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"220\" height=\"290\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In addition to being such a beautiful place to live, Maastricht is also extremely close to other European countries. I walked and biked to Belgium with my friends on many occasions, and catching trains across the border was just as easy. You can catch trains and buses to Germany, France, and Luxembourg with just as much ease but if you\u2019re traveling via the NS (Netherlands railway company) use Facebook groups to find others so you can buy cheaper tickets for \u20ac7 (see links at the end of this document). The closest airport is Eindhoven, which offers really cheap flights, and you can also get some incredibly good value flights from Brussels\u2019 airports.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dutch Culture and Carnaval!<br \/>\n<\/strong>You get a very authentic taste of Dutch life living in Maastricht. The locals in this region love to drink, sing, and dance \u2013 as evidenced by the incredible festival Carnaval (not to be confused with the South American Carnival). Although I could never get any one person to tell me exactly what the festival was for, it essentially started as a tradition in the southern parts of Belgium, Netherlands, and Germany where people would fill the streets in elaborate costumes and drink and eat for 3 days. If you\u2019re planning on going to Maastricht for exchange, you have to go during first semester. Carnaval takes place in March and is truly a sight to behold!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/qut-exchange-students\/files\/2017\/12\/Kellie-Amos-Maastricht-University-5.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-5033\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/qut-exchange-students\/files\/2017\/12\/Kellie-Amos-Maastricht-University-5.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"238\" height=\"181\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/qut-exchange-students\/files\/2017\/12\/Kellie-Amos-Maastricht-University-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-5034\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/qut-exchange-students\/files\/2017\/12\/Kellie-Amos-Maastricht-University-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"254\" height=\"180\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cost of Living<br \/>\n<\/strong>For my exchange, I used a Velocity Global Wallet Card, which allows you to load AUD on to it and exchange it into several other currencies, including the Euro and Pound. It works like a normal visa debit card and has no fees for electronic transactions, just a small dollar fee for cash withdrawals. Being a small city, many of the establishments in Maastricht don\u2019t accept traditional credit card providers like visa, so I did have to use cash quite often.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Some Final Advice\u2026<br \/>\n<\/strong>In the span of your lifetime, 6 months might not equate to much, but an exchange feels like you\u2019ve just lived an entire years worth of experiences in half the amount of time. It\u2019s pretty amazing how quickly you can put down roots in another part of the world. I don\u2019t have any regrets about my exchange and I could spend hours telling you more about the things I was able to see, do, and live thanks to this opportunity. Instead, the last piece of advice I give you is to find some way to remember it \u2013 whether that\u2019s photos, a journal, a blog, collecting souvenirs, or a combination of all those \u2013 I can guarantee you\u2019ll want some kind of physical evidence it wasn\u2019t just a dream.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/qut-exchange-students\/files\/2017\/12\/Kellie-Amos-Maastricht-University100.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-5035\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.qut.edu.au\/qut-exchange-students\/files\/2017\/12\/Kellie-Amos-Maastricht-University100.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"465\" height=\"351\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Exchange isn\u2019t easy, you will have lows along with the highs, but it is so worth your time and effort! <strong>Here are some extra links to help \u2014<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Facebook group for NS Group Tickets: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/1472379199695327\/<\/p>\n<p>Facebook group for Second-hand Bikes: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/216524551852144\/<\/p>\n<p>Facebook group for Bikes and Furniture: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/zarurahusam\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kellie Amos, Bachelor of Business \/ Bachelor of Creative Industries Maastricht University, Netherlands (Semester 1, 2017 Exchange) Maastricht \u2013 birthplace of the European Union A beautiful medieval city, Maastricht is home to a large international student population \u2013 particularly from the neighboring countries Belgium and Germany.
