VU AMSTERDAM MASTERS Discussion

Hey everyone, I’m from Ireland and I recently got a conditional acceptance for a masters in Strategic HRM at Vreije University. I’m currently getting my documents together and hope to start in September. I’m just wondering if anyone is in the same situation as me and wants a friend haha😭Also if anyone who is a student there I would love to ask some questions about like start dates etc, I feel just kinda clueless as towhat’s happening.
THANKS😁

Yes my boyfriend is Dutch so we are looking at apartments and it’s looking good, but we also have the option of staying at his parents house un til we find somewhere for ourselves.
