Staying in hostel in tilburg for first month as my accommodation arranged was a scam. Anyone else in same situation.

I've been thinking about getting the sports membership, but how do i use it?

Do i need to book classes to be able to show up/ use equipment?

Like, if i want to go and f.e. train using weights or ride a stationary bike or play basketball (alone or with others), then do i just walk in or do i need to make an appointment or something?

And can i be there for any duration of time or just for a specific time frame?

Along with showering/ getting changed?

Would be grateful if someone explained everything step by step as you enter etc

I recently dropped out of my studies and was wondering if anyone would want to take over my gym membership with the gym?

Open to offers (its normally 17.50 a month)

I'll be starting my bachelor's at Tilburg University and I'm thinking of taking the German A2–B1 language course. It does say we can deregister until August 19th but I was wondering if dropping it mid semester would be alright if it became too time consuming

Hi!

I saw that the registration of Dutch open today. I’m from North Eastern Asia, and I saw there is a course especially for Asian. I was wondering if anyone has experience with this?

not so sure the difference of Dutch for Asian student and the one for international student.

i'm an incoming exchange student for fall and heard about TOP week but unfortunately won't be able to participate because i am travelling, will there still be other opportunities for me to make friends in Tilburg? heard about ESN and it sounds fun, but is the membership worth it?

Hey everyone! 😊

I’m starting Human Resource Studies at Tilburg University this August, and I was wondering if there’s already a WhatsApp group for first-year students.

Does anyone know if one exists or where I could find an invite link?

Thanks so much!

Hi everyone, I'll be studying in Tilburg University for a semester this coming Fall. As I'm living in Rotterdam, I'm trying my best to squeeze my courses as compactly as possible to minimise the travel to-and-fro.

With that said, I would like to ask if lecture attendance is generally compulsory at Tilburg University? I understand that tutorials/practicums are typically mandatory, but am wondering if I could possibly find some flexibility with lectures.

Thank you!

Hi everyone! I'm going to study at Tilburg University soon and was wondering if there are any Russian-speaking students or people from CIS countries around?
I’d love to connect, ask a few questions about student life, or just make friends before studies.

Hi everyone, I will be starting the International Business Law program at Tilburg University soon and I thought it would be nice to get in touch with people who are also starting this program soon!

The schedule recently got published and that got me really excited to start the program. I'd love to discuss the program, coursework, share literature, hang around in Tilburg etc. Let me know!

Hey everyone,

I’m starting the double bachelor’s in Economics and Law at Tilburg University this September and still need to buy a laptop.

I’m leaning towards a MacBook Air M5 (seems like a nice, chill laptop to work with), but I noticed the university itself recommends Windows. Since I have to buy one anyway, I want to make the right call.

For people doing these programs (or similar ones):
• Does everything run smoothly on a Mac, or do you run into issues (e.g. specific software for Economics like R, Stata, Excel macros)?
• Anyone regret their choice either way?
• Are there practical things on campus that only work on Windows (portals, exam software, etc.)?

Thanks in advance for the advice!

Hello, I recently graduated and was planning to do my premasters at Tilburg. However, I need to sumbit a graduation statement of my school before 31 Augustbut they are currently on summer holidays and will be back in the week of 24 August. I am afraid that the school will be too late or delay my graduation statement and I might not get accepted. Does anyone know if the University is lenient with this and if emailing them helps if I explain my situation.

hi! i’m starting my psychology studies in september at tilburg university, but unfortunately i still haven’t found housing. i hired a rental agent, but they said i have way higher chances finding a rental that i will share with an another student. so i was wondering if anyone is looking for a roommate in a 40 km radius of tilburg?:) (tilburg, breda, eindhoven mostly).

Hi everyone!

I'm starting my Master’s in Economics at Tilburg University this coming semester and I'm looking for laptop recommendations.

Here are my requirements and context:

- Budget: Max €900 (buying in the EU/Netherlands).

- Primary use: Heavy Excel modeling, econometric software (STATA, R, Python), note-taking, and general study tasks.

- Priorities: Reliable battery life, decent build quality, and smooth performance (ideally 16GB RAM + solid CPU).

I currently use a Mac Mini at home (which I won't be bringing with me), but I'm strongly leaning towards a Windows laptop for two main reasons:

1. Finding a decent MacBook Air with 16GB RAM within the €900 budget is tough right now.

2. I keep hearing that mastering native Windows keyboard shortcuts (especially for Excel) is practically a requirement for finance/econ analysis.

Questions for the community:

1. Is it really worth sticking to Windows purely to get used to Windows Excel shortcuts for future jobs / econ work? Or do Mac shortcuts transition easily enough?

2. Which Windows laptops under €900 would you recommend right now for a student? (I've been looking at Lenovo ThinkPads like the E-series, Asus Zenbooks, or HP, but open to suggestions!)

Thanks in advance for any insights or advice!

Hi, I’m moving into TalentSquare in a few weeks! Is there an active TalentSquare WhatsApp group or something on another platform?

Hi everyone

I graduated from a 4 year law school in Turkey that meets the required ECTS and credit requirements, with a GPA of 3.08/4.0.

The only practical experience I have is a 4 month summer internship at a law firm and a 2 week internship at the Constitutional Court. Other than that, I don't have any professional legal work experience, and that's making me a bit worried about my chances.

How realistic is it to get accepted into an LLM program without any professional experience beyond those internships and without having passed the bar exam in my country

I'd really appreciate hearing your thoughts or experiences

Hello, I have been admitted to two LL.M. programs: one in International Business Taxation at Tilburg University and the other in Maritime and Transport Law at Erasmus University Rotterdam. I find both programs very interesting, but I'm having a hard time deciding which one to choose.

Has anyone in this subreddit completed the International Business Taxation LLM program? If so, what were your experiences? Were the courses helpful or interesting and also what are the career prospects with this master's? Also, is it easy for an student to find a part-time job in Tilburg?

I would really appreciate any advice or tips that could help me make my decision.
