Girls in fancy frocks and suited up guys danced the night away and said their good-byes to their friends who are departing after having completed the fall semester.<\/p>\n<p> Madeline Vincent, an exchange student from University of Pennsylvania, had come to Rotterdam because she wanted to do something that wasn\u2019t possible at her home institution. \u201cThe International Business Project was something really different yet interesting. Furthermore, all in five months, I\u2019ve managed to travel and party a lot!\u201d Madeline mentions that it was hard to accustom to the language and find accommodation, but nevertheless, she would love to come back. \u201cI have friends abroad, who also have great experiences, but I think Netherlands is the best choice\u201d. <\/p>\n<p>  <b>Different standards<\/b><\/p>\n<p>  Other students are not so positive. Julie Hardie, a Scottish student from University of Glasgow, initially wanted to spend a year in Rotterdam, but she shortened it to half a year and will be leaving in the coming weeks. \u201cIt\u2019s a nice enough place, but overall the experience has been disappointing and everything is not up the standard that I\u2019m used to, including housing, prices, and food.\u201d Having picked Erasmus University \u2018from the brochure\u2019, Julie says that she regrets her decision, but at least she has made one or two friends who she will be definitely keeping in touch with.<\/p>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/ASSETS\/em\/EM\/International_news\/esnprom.JPG\" alt=\"\" width=\"448\" height=\"216\"><\/p>\n<h5> Pictured: Julie Hardie first from right, Gabriel Silva thid from left\u00a0  <\/h5>\n<p>  <b>No <i>favelas<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>  A Brazilian law student Gabriel Silva also has made some life-long friends, but unlike Julie, he likes the Netherlands for its international scope and friendly people. \u201cThis place is filled with blond, blue-eyed, rich, tall, and white people.
