The Netherlands is a complicated country for educational instruction languages. Although Dutch is the national language of The Netherlands, there seems to be a push to have English in their higher education. Many universities are dual-language, and some offer degrees or classes in English or Dutch only. Before applying to a university, make sure you know what they expect of your Dutch language abilities.

Admissions

Before considering the Netherlands, there is an extreme housing crisis as of this writing. The Dutch government is now asking universities to stop international student recruitment.

Tuition

Although tuition for American students is significantly higher than for Dutch or EU students, it is still less than even in-state tuition at many public institutions.

Other Tips

• Healthcare is not required for international students. However, it would be best if you looked into getting Dutch student healthcare.
• Delft is the only top university with a well-regarded engineering program.
• Dutch are known to be cold to foreigners and expect to make friends with other international students.
