At the end of their first day in Holland, everyone who had registered in time (in March of this year) had health insurance, a bank account, and student accommodation.

On Wednesday, the students will be brought to their new homes, near or in their study town. There they will go through a local introduction program to show them the way to their new school/educational institution, register at their new municipality, and learn to find their way in their new town (shops, pharmacies, sports facilities, etc.)

The weather also co-operated in giving the youngsters a warm welcome, although a few students were a little surprised to find out that no cold air was coming out of the radiators in their hotel room and that air conditioning is not a common thing in a Dutch hotel room.
