There\u2019s no way you could get them back to the life they used to have as secondary school student \u2013 even though it tended be a lot simpler. \u201cYou could spend the whole day watching Netflix and still get pass marks.

The thousands of students who enrol at EUR every year are full of dreams, ambitions and big plans for the future. EM has followed a number of these new faces during their first year. \u2018How is \u2026 doing?\u2019 That\u2019s how each of the 21 articles started in the series that EM devoted over the past year to the ups and down of seven first-year students. Hannah, Isabelle, Julia, Mitchell, Ruaira, Tirza and Tristan shared their stories. Unfortunately, Mitchell* (19) and Isabelle Lins Pereira (22) couldn\u2019t make it to this final get-together, although we were happy to hear they were doing well. Mitchell will be starting on his third programme in The Hague next year, while Brazilian student Isabelle is hard at work earning her final credits for her Psychology IBA.<\/p>\n\n\t
