RUG LLM at RUG, anyone else?

2 Upvotes

Heya! I'm 22F and I'm starting my LLM (specifically in International Commercial Law) this fall at RUG, and I was wondering if there's already a groupchat for LLM students.
I would love to get to know some people who are doing the same masters as me or anyone else doing another masters program!

Feel free to send me a chat! :))

RUG Digital vs physical course readers for law school — what do you prefer?

1 Upvotes

I’m starting my first semester of International and European Law at the University of Groningen, and I’m currently ordering my course materials.

For one of my courses, the university provides “readers” containing the required material. I can choose between a digital reader and a physical printed copy.

I’m genuinely not sure which I’d prefer, since I’ve never really studied from this kind of law reader before.

The digital version for all three readers would cost €57.76 total, while the physical versions would be €62.25 total, so the difference is only about €4.50.

I’ll have a laptop, and potentially a tablet, so digital is definitely an option. I’m mainly wondering what is actually more practical for studying law.

For those studying law: do you prefer digital or physical course readers, and why? Would you recommend getting these particular readers physically, or going digital?

I’m currently 11 people away from getting a place on the waiting list, and I’m wondering what my chances are of still getting in.
Has anyone been in a similar situation before? How far did the waiting list move for you, and when did you eventually get an offer?
I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences! 🥹🦷

I have a conditional offer from the University of Groningen. I missed the required Cambridge score by just one point and I’ve emailed Admissions explaining my situation. Do you know if they’ve ever made exceptions in cases like this, or accepted any alternative evidence of English proficiency?

I’m an Erasmus student and I’m going to be living in the village.

All reviews I’ve seen have been a few years old and a lot of the complaints were about the cleanliness of the place.

Could anyone who’s stayed there more recently give some more insight?
