I'll be studying in the Netherlands for my bachelor's degree and would like to ask what it is like to live in the Netherlands, what are the best cities to visit, and why is it so hard to find affordable accommodation?
I would also like to make new friends there !
Hi. I'm moving to the Netherlands for Uni soon!

Hello incredi.
For the rent, you can post an advert in the Housing in Netherlands section. It might help. 
Thank you,
