UCM’s welcoming community
I have been incredibly lucky with my experience at UCM so far, as the time has been wonderful. The community was warm and welcoming from the beginning, which made it easy to fit in. I have also had the opportunity to interact with very enthusiastic and knowledgeable tutors in many different subjects, which has made it a pleasure to learn about the subjects. Lastly, the different events that UCM hosts, such as open mic night and the different committee events such as the theatre production, have all made my time at UCM very enjoyable.

Student teacher relations
The many different events hosted by the different committees and UCM also helps to keep me connected with everyone. In regard to tutors, most, if not all of the tutors I have encountered have been easily approachable. They are enthusiastic and knowledgeable about their subjects and have always invested the time in answering my emails or questions. In general, due to the smaller classes at UCM, you are also able to get to know your tutors more intimately, which makes it much easier to approach them as well.

Getting around Maastricht
I have found the locals in Maastricht to be very friendly and speaking English has never been a problem because so many people are able to switch to English from Dutch if needed. I also love how convenient it is to bike around Maastricht, as there are designated bike paths almost everywhere and the traffic is very conscious of cyclists.
