Summer abroad experience
August 10, 2017by: Emmanuel Ofosu - EnglandProgram: M.A. in Comm & Information Studies: Multimodal Communication
There is not much anyone can ask for after attending a two week program filled with amazing people in an amazing city. "Real cool" should be written under the promoting brochure because that is what this program has been for me. I would recommend anyone to embark on this experience!
An excellent experience studying here

It's hard to describe the exciting experience of 2 weeks here by words. The living situation is so good and the students and professor here are very kind. I like the teamworks together. And VU Amsterdam summer school is reliable. I just want to recommend this program to my all classmates. It's nice to study and live here.
A delightful escapade

The emotional outcome of any experience is completely subjective. When it's going abroad, every conceivable emotion occurs and reoccurs throughout your entire stay in a foreign land. It's overwhelming, in both a positive and yes, even negative way. Me? I fell in love with Amsterdam. That's not to say I didn't have sad, angry, homesick, or stressed emotions just because I was in one of the most beautiful places in the world. It's perfectly natural to feel all those things, even while in such a magical place. For me, what rose above all the spectrum of human emotions were the moments that gave me pure elation. Elation that I may never have felt had I not gone abroad. It was a human experience I was in much need of, and I recommend it to anyone who is presented the opportunity. I love Amsterdam and everything it had to offer.
