- Open atmosphere to internationals
- Application based studies i.e strong theoretical and practical balance
- Graduates are well‑prepared to work in industry, R&D, consulting roles
Dislikes
- General professors are busy and hard to reach
- Some courses are quite intensive if no prior background
- International students outside the EU pay 10 times the fees as EU students
- I chose an off-campus accommodation, as TU/e has limited on-campus housing options, and most students live in private rental housing or in shared accommodation.
- I used a combination of online platforms and student networks: Some examples of websites which can be helpful are : HousingAnywhere, Kamernet, Pararius, TU/e’s official housing partners - Vestide and SSH, Facebook groups (e.g., "Indians in Eindhoven", "TU/e Housing 2025 Intake")
- Eindhoven is struggling with a housing shortage, especially rentals, due to certain laws for landlords. Hence spots fill up very fast (especially during summer here in July–August).
- Main things which people should be aware of is there are various fake listings on Facebook—always verify landlord identity and never send money without a contract. Do not send any payment or give your bank details.
- For housing agencies like SSH and Vestide and H2S, they generally offer lottery-based schemes; hence, spots are not guaranteed for everyone.
- My recommendation would be to start the search early, perhaps in April/May/June. Sometimes you need to pay a month or two of rent even though you are not living there; there; just take it. Use verified sources and avoid sending money through social media without contracts. Be open to temporary accommodation for 1–2 months and search again after arrival.
- My accommodation was 3.3 km from TU Eindhoven. Generally, students stay within 5-6km radius of the University

- I would say the campus environment is very vibrant and I get to meet people from different diversities and cultures
- I feel like the professors are very approachable and helpful which makes it easier to communicate your doubts with them be yourself around them.
- The area of research is given a lot of emphasis and has several labs and practical facilities to support application oriented learning in my university
Dislikes
- Sometimes the course workload gets quite heavy, especially when multiple deadlines fall in the same week, which can be a bit overwhelming
- Some courses such as advanced algorithms are highly theoretical and could include more practical or hands-on elements to make the learning experience even better.
- The cost of university oriented housing is quite high and could be reduced to make it affordable for students.
- I was searching for accommodations through online housing portals on websites like Holland2Stay and Vestide, which is when I got an email from the university to register for the university housing lottery, where I can select my preferences for my room and if I am lucky, I will get housing. Within 1 month of registering, I got the lottery along with 90 per cent of the people.
- I got it in a place called VB student housing which is 3 km from the university and is a newly constructed building for students. The rent accounts for up to 650 euros, including services and utilities. The building has facilities such as a table tennis court, laundry, and a gym, and vast spaces such as a lounge and outdoor seating areas for students to chill and meet with their friends.
- I have my own room where I share the kitchen and bathroom with a few other students in my cluster. One recommendation would be to be proactive and not lose any opportunity in procuring housing, as it is very difficult in the netherlands.

- Hands on approach - Based on the courses that you select, you will also have laboratory experiments/case studies where you can explore all the possibilities to provide a solution. University appreciates genuine solutions and does not always expect you to provide the right solution for those problems.
- Open choice for projects - You will have your own freedom for choosing the projects for courses/internship/thesis. One of the important things in an internship/thesis project is that you will also have the freedom to shape/change your problem statement of the project as you make progress.
- Mentor/Academic advisors - In continuation of the previous point. It is common to get confused in the selection of projects, that's where you have sought the help of academic advisors, who can guide you to the right person and offer support in case you are having some academic performance issues. Choosing a professor mentor in the field that you would like to work is an added plus. He/She will be able to make arrangements for any projects with industry people/university candidates. University makes sure you have both the connection within the first two months of your academic year.
Dislikes
- Too much self study - Sometimes it feels like you have to handle many things and bot on your own for so much during the initial days. The university doesn't give you time to adapt to their educational style and will demand more.
- Scheduling - There are many things that can alter the regular flow of the course schedule, like frequent train issues, protests, and hacking. These events mostly will bother your regular schedule and rescheduling will kind of be a mess.
- Teamwork - There are also some effects due to the above point in case if you do have a course related to teamwork/group projects. In some cases the train strikes will cause your teammates to be unable to travel so you'll have to do their work, although if they are present via Teams. Group project demands contribution from each person and proper workload is not divided, it can also cause unnecessary stress and the university does not help much in this case.
- I did try to find rooms using popular dutch platforms like H2S, friendly housing, facebook but i was unfortunate with these platforms. Finally i got my room through a lottery draw from the university itself. The university will ask if you would like to participate in the housing lottery (it doesn't mean you will get a house for sure).
- I do pay 650 EUr per month, where i do share a kitchen and bathroom with 8 other students. The rooms are for one student, which is like 20 m². The general housing would provide water, gas and internet. Since my room was furnished, i didn't have to buy a bed, table, chairs, etc.
- To be frank, getting accommodation in the Netherlands is complicated. The dutch law doesn't allow more students to stay in a single house. So typically, there are no special treatments for international students and even the university implies the housing crisis right from the date of your acceptance email.
- Try to find some indian groups through Facebook or whatsapp (but to be frank, even indians charge a hefty amount for rent, taking advantage of the situation). So pay for some premium services for the common housing platforms and you will be lucky. Try to reach out to fellow students on LinkedIn and do not get scammed by Facebook ads.
- My accommodation is 15 mins away by bike ride (cycle) from the university. For the rest of the question, it is not known to my knowledge since everyone lives under different roofs.

- Balance between theory and practical projects
- Group projects with at least 5 members to promote real life teams
- Interdisciplinary projects between mechanical, chemical, sustainability engineers
Dislikes
- Crowded classes as the auditorium only had about 100 seats or so
- Expensive tuition fees for an international students
- Limited course availability for some electives (overall good)
- Now this aspect is the most challenging and worst of them all so far. It is really a bad situation to find a place to stay. I had to look at multiple online sites, ask people and subscribe to multiple tools to find a place. Most efficient way is to look for agencies for these things and maybe facebook, some online posting sites. It is hard to find a studio or apartment within 1000 euros a month in eindhoven, Therefore, most people have only rooms with shared spaces like kitchens.
- I found a room with a private bathroom and shared kitchen for 740 euros/month rent in the outskirts of tilburg city. It is 1 hour away with public transportation from my college. I recommend looking for houses in nearby towns and cities (NOT IN EINDHOVEN) and using agencies' sites, not posting sites where you have to pay. There is only 1 good place in "kamer".

- Lot of different specializations to choose from.
- The proximity of the university to Eindhoven's automotive high-tech campus (in Helmond) gives great exposure and opportunity.
- Extremely talented and qualified faculty.
Dislikes
- Expensive when compared to EU citizens. Non EU citizens pay 17000-20000 euros p.a. whereas EU citizens only pay 2000 euros p.a.
- Some specialization groups like to extend the thesis research for a long time leading to additional expenses for students. But I think now there is a cap on how long the thesis can continue.
- Very limited student housing options. The two student dormitories in campus have a combined capacity to house around 800 students, whereas the total university strength is > 10000.
- I got accommodation off campus. I got a studio from a housing agent called 'Holland2Stay', which is the most popular way to get housing in Eindhoven. My monthly rent was around 800 euros. It was a fully furnished studio apartment. It had all the required furnishing like tables, chairs, sofas and beds. The kitchen had all the appliances like a stove, oven, refrigerator and cutlery. Internet was included in the rent. Hearing, water and garbage disposal were not included.
- The Netherlands has an extreme housing shortage. So most students have to rely on a 'lottery system' to get accommodation. Meaning, out of hundreds of people that apply for a house, one person is randomly chosen. This is a big challenge if you don't get lucky.
- I recommend the future students either not consider the Netherlands (only due to the housing situation) or start looking for housing 1 year in advance!
- My studio was within a kilometre from the university.

- Close proximity to high tech industries in Eindhoven so lots of internship and project opportunities
- High research oriented professors and faculty
- International community is very active and vibrant in the university
Dislikes
- Highly engineering focused university, lack of other disciplines is evident
- International tuition fees is very steep, compared to EU tuition fees
- Masters program have a tendency to get extended due to internship/thesis project administrative issues, which implies students have to pay extra fees for the extended period
- My accommodation was off campus; I did not get it from the university. I was lucky to find accommodation 1.5km from campus but others were less lucky. University has added more student housing on the campus so future students can find it easier.
- Finding houses in the Netherlands is tough; you have to be early, otherwise you don't get it. Keep applying and you are bound to get something.

- Great international environment and diversity
- Well educated faculty from several countries
- World-class facilities when it came to machinery and equipment
Dislikes
- Complicated administrative processes
- Lack of flexibility and leniency
- No affordable cafetaria and restaurant available on campus, also closest grocery store was quite far to go in between during classes
- I found my accommodation through university support, apart from which it was extremely stressful. The monthly rent at that time was about 450-650 euros per month per head and this included gas, water, electricity, etc. There are several challenges that one faces when their contract expires, even if they are still studying (uni sometimes only offers 2-year contracts) and then it's a real struggle for internationals.
- My best recommendation would be to only come to the country if you already find an accommodationotherwise you will be literally homeless and that is not a good situation to start your university life in
- Accommodations are usually on or within a 1.5km radius of campus; most indian students obtain these accommodations or have to live quite far (from 3 to 10 km) in housing offered by third-party companies.

- Cultural diversity
- In vicinity of many companies and ASML headquarters
- Balance between research/academia and industry related course content
Dislikes
- Less chances of collaboration with other students for studies
- Some professors and courses are too demanding
- Some of the facilities in some departments are old (monitors, pc, etc.)
- I found accommodation through the university lottery. I also used online platforms. My accommodation is off-campus
- My monthly rent is 650 euros which includes basic rent plus gas, water, electricity and internet, service cost
- It is very difficult to find accommodation in the Netherlands due to housing crisis. So the landlord has more power here than the tenant.
- Start looking for accommodation through online platforms, facebook groups (beware of scammers but some are genuine) even though there is a university lottery. One is not guaranteed housing through the lottery.
- It is 3.5 km away and it takes 20 min by bicycle. Quite a lot of students live on campus. Majority of Indian students live off-campus.

- Supporting faculty, you can ask them about literally anything even how to get best groceries.
- State of the art facilities like testing labs available.
- Innovation labs, you can ask for a model of your prototype 3d printed for free.
Dislikes
- Didn't feel at home.
- No sense of belonging.
- No placements, but companies pick students based on if they worked there in the internship.
- Like I said, university does help for the first year atleast which was minimum 700 euros per month basic rent. It included electricity and water. It also depends on place to place if your washing machine charge is included or not.
- My first accommodation was just opposite the campus, a 5 min walk where I stayed for one year.
