How is the environment at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands? What are the accommodation, food, weather, and transportation like? Anyone who has been there can explain it?

Your feeling is correct. . . Groningen is a small town in the north. . . The environment is nice, but of course if you want to have fun, the environment is terrible. . . There is basically no nightlife haha. . Most of the time I go to bars, play billiards and watch movies. . .

Accommodation is up to you. If you have money, rent it better. . It is recommended to apply for a student apartment and live with local students.

What you eat depends on you. You can buy groceries and make Chinese food yourself. Go to a Chinese supermarket and buy soy sauce, chicken essence, oyster sauce, and rice wine. . . . Everything is there. The more harmonious student apartments often have dinner together, and everyone takes turns, which is a good opportunity for communication.

Weather: Dry, cool. It rarely goes up to 30 degrees Celsius in summer, around 0 degrees Celsius in winter, and -10 degrees Celsius when it’s cold.

Transportation: Public transportation is very convenient, and bicycles are also easy to use. It is very convenient to take trains to other cities.
