I've had a growing obsession with the Netherlands. I've been learning Dutch since 2018 and I have been to NL twice...

>bothering to learn Dutch
They will all speak in English with you the moment they hear the hint of an accent

i want to move to the nl as well. maybe after i graduate, as most likely won't be able to study abroad since i'm poor. i say if you can do it, go for it mate

Yes Leiden is great go there
DO NOT COME TO GRONINGEN I swear I will rape you and slit your fat transatlantic throat you disgusting new world tumor

>first gen
From where? You can get a EU passport if you're from a meme country like Italy or Ireland, they dish out citizenship to anyone whose great grand uncles dog was from their country

Not in my case, they speak English to you if you literally only know 2 sentences in dutch. Like I saw foreigners attempting dutch asking where the train station is, dutch person answers in dutch, anglo doesnt understand, so dutch person has to switch to english

I was saying how YOU weren't good enough to come here
fucking stay the fuck away

I wish we could simply copy Dutch architecture and urban planning and apply it here. I have no interest in the Netherlands whatsoever but their building style is clearly the best in the world.

Nibba, dey is overpopulated.

sounds like you specific area was a shithole, good luck either way i guess. better than the losers that cry about it all the time but dont try leaving

quality of education and amenities are pretty good. drawbacks are what said is absolutely right and also most internationals have a hard time getting out of that bubble as dutch students are rarely interested in making friends with them. not because they don't like them per se (though some do) but also because we don't want to go through the trouble of getting out of our own bubble. actually speaking dutch will help a lot with this though
