I am an international student at TIO university. I think it is very important to state a non biased opinion that people can use to create their decision on whether to attend. As a student I always find myself in conversations with other internationals about how we pay more on top of the tuition for legal costs etc. yet we are neglected. Many things they offer are meant for Dutch students and they try to spin it into an international program. You can’t expect to get any help finding an internship and while you are away on your internship you will be expected to find your own housing. And in the case you do find an internship there is a probability they will not allow it. I work a job to try and support myself here and so It makes it difficult for me to go to certain classes depending on the day. However I have not been allowed to turn in work or take exams since there is a 60% attendance rule. This was implemented since many kids were failing however now you are stuck in classes where unmotivated students show up disrupting the whole class. It is known as a school for the rich and it is obvious the school will put profit before the students or teachers. Teachers expect the students to be responsible for their own work yet the people running the school at the top cannot take responsibility for their own actions and the students suffer the consequences in the end. There is much more I could say however, I think in the end all that needs to be mentioned is it is exhausting to deal with the incompetence of the people running the school and so are many of the other internationals. The only reason I gave it a two star review is because the teachers and people working on campus in Amsterdam are amazing. Often it feels like they are trying to rescue us from their own boss. Unsurprisingly we have seen many great teachers quit do to conditions. The school does more to complicate your education than to be flexible in trying to make their students prosper like they mention on their website. There is a lot of unnecessary stress put on by all the fallacy and for a lack of a better word BS. I am only speaking as a international bachelors student so this doesn’t apply for the Dutch program.
