In September 2006 I came to the Netherlands. I am from Poland, where I was studying European Civil Engineering. I decided to study in the Netherlands because I think this country has a good educational system. After one year of studies in the Netherlands I could get another bachelor diploma. This means that after four years I could get a Polish Bachelor and a Dutch bachelor. In my opinion Groningen is a very colourful place. It has a lot of activities for students. I like going to school and I like the ACLO sports centre. I meet a lot of people there from all over Europe. The biggest difference compared to Poland is that almost everybody is speaking English here. So this is a very good opportunity to improve my language skills. The most important thing I have learned here is to work in groups. It is good to gain experience with dividing the different tasks over the group members. I think this is a good preparation for working in the professional field. My plans for the future? Maybe I will take an internship in the Netherlands. First I want to finish my bachelor. And after that I will find a job or take a master degree.
