Alongside the application and documentation, an experience from a current student is shared!<br \/>\nEvery year, essential information for prospective students is also discussed. This is done via <strong>two Live Q&amp;A sessions<\/strong>: <em>&#8220;Student<\/em> <em>Life in Wageningen<\/em>&#8221; and &#8220;<em>Essentials of studying in Wageningen<\/em>&#8220;, and the topics include housing, finances, applications, and student life. For your convenience, we have gathered <strong>all<\/strong> of this information in the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/weblog.wur.eu\/international-students\/2025\/12\/10\/virtual-open-day-2025-qa-recap\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VOD 2025 Recap<\/a> blog<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Selected Highlights<\/h2>\n<p>There are endless sources for the hot topics and questions future students wonder about. However, when you have a lot of questions, you might miss something you haven&#8217;t thought of. That is why in this blog, I have specially selected bits from the Q&amp;A sessions that are just as important but are not discussed as often. <strong>Madeline<\/strong>, <strong>Ilaria<\/strong> and <strong>George\u00a0<\/strong>were invited to share their experiences as international students at the VOD, so you&#8217;ll hear from them too!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-teams=\"true\"><strong>Question<\/strong>: &#8220;<strong>What&#8217;s something you wish you knew before moving to the Netherlands\/WUR?<\/strong>&#8220;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Madeline<\/strong>: <em>&#8220;Learning a little bit of the language before coming here is always an advantage, just so that you get a running start. I was initially worried about the housing and grocery prices, but later on, everything worked out well.

Soaking wet.. we&#8217;ve all been there, haha. Sometimes you&#8217;re just heading home, so it is not a problem, however, being with wet clothes in class is not the most pleasant thing. Prepare for the weather and bring appropriate clothing! You can always buy rainwear from here, there is plenty, but keep in mind that rain is a real deal during the colder periods. Make sure to check your weather <a href=\"https:\/\/weblog.wur.eu\/international-students\/2026\/02\/27\/must-have-apps-when-moving-to-the-netherlands\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a> in advance before leaving and have a raincoat (or two)!\ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-teams=\"true\"><strong>Question<\/strong>: &#8220;<strong>Why did you choose WUR, and have you hesitated between this and a different university?<\/strong>&#8220;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Ilaria<\/strong>: <em>&#8220;I knew that WUR has very high rankings, especially in my field, Environmental Sciences, where it is 2nd in the world. So, this was a big motivator for me. I was also very intrigued by the &#8220;small town&#8221; idea and experiencing a university town. Since then, I&#8217;ve had no regrets. You get to build deep bonds with people around you. Next to the quality of life, I also love the great teaching methods. I can see the growth in my academic and professional career.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I can confirm this from my side as well! I&#8217;m also coming from a big city, and compared to it, life in Wageningen is different.

Everyone can speak English here, so not knowing the language is generally not a problem. Nevertheless, learning Dutch might help expand your social circle, feel more integrated and secure a better job position if you&#8217;re planning to later settle in the Netherlands.<br \/>\nIf you&#8217;re ready to take a step closer to becoming a Dutchie, or you&#8217;re just keen on languages, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wur.nl\/en\/education\/into-languages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wageningen in&#8217;to Languages<\/a>&#8216;ve got you! They offer Social Dutch classes (initial levels are free!) and many more language courses like Spanish, French, and English.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Question<\/strong>: &#8220;<strong>Was it hard to adjust to the student life there? What habits helped you succeed at Wageningen?<\/strong>&#8220;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Madeline<\/strong>: <em>&#8220;There&#8217;s a reputation that Dutch people are very direct. Sometimes they are, but they&#8217;re also really sweet people. I wouldn&#8217;t be worried about that directness. It also helps with better communication, in my opinion.&#8221;<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>George<\/strong>: <em>&#8220;I would also add that Dutch people are always on time. They don&#8217;t like it if you are late. In Slavic countries, it&#8217;s okay to be 15 minutes late on some occasions. Here, it&#8217;s a bit different so try to respect that culture and be on time.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/weblog.wur.eu\/international-students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/10\/future-students-neww-scaled.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5874 \" src=\"https:\/\/weblog.wur.eu\/international-students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/10\/future-students-neww-1024x675.jpg\" alt=\"future students WUR\" width=\"447\" height=\"294\" srcset=\"https:\/\/weblog.wur.eu\/international-students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/10\/future-students-neww-1024x675.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/weblog.wur.eu\/international-students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/10\/future-students-neww-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/weblog.wur.eu\/international-students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/10\/future-students-neww-768x506.jpg 768w, https:\/\/weblog.wur.eu\/international-students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/10\/future-students-neww-1536x1012.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/weblog.wur.eu\/international-students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/10\/future-students-neww-2048x1350.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/weblog.wur.eu\/international-students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/10\/future-students-neww-150x99.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 447px) 100vw, 447px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Question<\/strong>: &#8220;<strong>Who to contact in case of doubt about admission?<\/strong>&#8220;<strong><br \/>\nAnswer<\/strong>: You can contact the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wur.nl\/en\/contact-wur\/contact-form-ssc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Student Service Centre<\/strong><\/a> for application and admission matters, but also for questions related to VISAs and, legal residence and insurance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Is there something else you would like to know?
