Rotterdam celebrates the 75th anniversary of its reconstruction this year. The city\u2019s skyline and image have changed a great deal during these 75 years.\u00a0Erasmus Magazine\u00a0is publishing a special on Rotterdam to give you a better idea of what the city is like today.<\/p>\n

During the past few years, Rotterdam has morphed from a drab grey industrial city into a place with plenty of innovation and opportunities. And that\u2019s why EM\u00a0has written a special theme issue about the city in order to find out more about Rotterdam students\u2019 experiences and the opportunities for start-ups. You can also read more about residents\u2019 and outsiders\u2019 views on this famous second city<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Our investigations<\/h3>

What do students think of their city? What activities do they join in besides their study programmes? Do they feel safe in Rotterdam?\u00a0EM\u00a0held a survey among more than 250 students to find out how they experience Rotterdam. Our investigations show that one out of every 8 students is a victim of crime, but 66% of the students now have a more positive opinion of the city than before.<\/p>\n
