Why did you choose the city of Rotterdam to study?
"I chose Rotterdam because it is a very dynamic city. I think diversity and inclusion are very important and I experience that to the full here in the city."
What are some of your favorite places in Rotterdam?
"We are here on Blaak and opposite us is the Market Hall. I think the Market Hall is a really nice place. Lots of different cultures come together here, young and old. I see it as a nice meeting place for Rotterdammers."
Have you had any interesting experiences while studying here?
"During introductory week at school, we were assigned to go into the market. Then I met different people with all kinds of stories. Then you see that people really have a certain appreciation for Rotterdam, and I found that very nice to see."
What would you like to give others about exploring the city?
"Don't hesitate to go outside and discover yourself, as well as the city in a positive way."
