These stories provide an insight into the actual experience from Chinese PhD students in the Netherlands
Ya Ping Hsiao, PhD student / researcher at the Open University:
"Dutch people can be a little bit rude and too direct in their manner to express emotions and feelings. They can improve these two things."
Zongxin Qian, PhD-candidate at Faculty of Economics and Business Administration, Tilburg University:
"It's relatively easy to ‘survive’ in the Netherlands."
Mike Zhang, Master at Wageningen University, and PhD at University of Utrecht, the Netherlands:
"Try to be open and by making Dutch friends, as well as not hating the language barrier which you can experience sometimes."
"Although the Netherlands is far away from China and they couldn’t see me often, all my family and friends thought it was a good opportunity for me to study in the Netherlands."
"Try to enjoy the international culture in the Dutch university."
