What do you like to do in your free time?
"I do a lot of sports, especially running. I would like to run the Rotterdam half marathon next year. The nice thing about Rotterdam is that you can run really well in a lot of places. A lap around Kralingse Plas is perfect, which is five kilometers. And when the weather is nice, I also try to sail here on the Kralingse Plas. I really enjoy that."
Are you a member of an association?
"Yes, I have been a member of the Rotterdam Student Sailing Association since my first year here. The nice thing about the association is that it is open to everyone, so not only university students, but also HBO and MBO students."
What was it like for you to be new as a student in Rotterdam?
"I know very much what it is like to be new as a student in Rotterdam. You have to find your own way again in a way. I think the Eurekaweek is really the perfect start for that. Because Rotterdam is so much more than just a student city. I think the Eurekaweek shows that very well. The nice thing is that everyone can just kind of find their place here. It's totally up to you to do that. And you also have the freedom to do that and I really liked that when I came here."
Madelief's hotspots
Bar Stroom - Bar Stroom, for example, has just opened. It is a very nice place where you not only have a cafe and really a bar, but where you can also dance in the evening and sometimes yoga is given in the morning.
