Russia "Studying at VU Amsterdam and living in Amsterdam is like looking through a kaleidoscope: there is something special and beautiful everywhere you look. I have always wanted to live and study among bright minds of diverse back- grounds - it broadens your horizons and gives a different perspective on everyday life. Amsterdam is welcoming and relax- ing, there are always events going on. I am incredibly happy with my decision to live in this lovely city; it feels like home to me." Computer Science

Germany "With the first year being almost over I am still amazed by how my life changed over the last few months. While moving to Amsterdam seemed like a daunting task initially, the university housing ser- vice and the student community made me feel at home pretty quickly. PPE profoundly challenged my thinking, led me to reevaluate some of my beliefs and taught me so much about those of others Studying PPE means working together with fascinating people from all over the world with the common goal of making a meaningful contribution to society."

India Amsterdam is a city that interests everyone as it has loads of activities. Things I love most are how nature- friendly the city is, and cycling to univer- sity. It helps me clear my head, plan my day and reconnect with nature. There are lots of events and get-togethers that take place, which has helped me meet new people and added more memorable experiences to my life. Econometrics and Data Science
