Welcome to NHTV's Online International Introduction Pages

Welcome

Welcome to the online introduction pages for prospective (international) NHTV students! On these pages, you can find lots of information suited to meet your needs. For example, you can find information on Dutch culture, Breda student life and NHTV specific information. Furthermore, you can view movies and read stories of other students that have come from abroad to study here in Breda, maybe even learning some Dutch words along the way. You can talk with other students and teachers on the Forum, and share your own photos and stories. So look for information you need, share, talk, learn and most of all: have fun! Also, be sure to join the NHTV group on Facebook! You can find a lot of fellow students there as well! The good thing is, since this is a wiki, everyone can edit! If you see something on the site that is not correct anymore, or you know other things about the subject that is not on the page, feel free to change it with the edit button at the top of this page! If you don't see this button, create an account first with log in/create account on the top right of the page!

See you in Breda!

The wiki consists of a lot of different pages, some of which may not be interesting for you. If you are a German student, the Dutch culture will not be as radically different from your own culture as when you are a Chinese student, for example. Therefore, you are free to choose whatever information you would like to get, and you can be as interactive as you want to be. Of course it is fun to read stories or see photos from other students, so if you feel like it, please upload your own experiences!
