Settling in

"Bring a part of home to your new home. Whether that may be pictures or something sentimental, it'll come in handy when homesickness starts to hit.

Seeing students fall in love with Maastricht is the best thing ever.

Speaking of homesickness, allow yourself to feel it out. While I understand you are in Maastricht for a short amount of time, don't feel bad if you need some time to yourself or take a while to adjust. Everyone takes in their mental space differently.

Remember that everyone is in the same boat as you. Everyone around you is also someone who picked Maastricht and is now looking for new friends and to go to different places and study different things."

"Follow the ESN Maastricht page just because they promote different get-togethers, activities and parties that incorporate all the students in Maastricht. It really helps to make new friends and just have a great time overall "

"Be nice and inclusive to everyone! You are all on this journey together and you’ll only see some of these people for a couple months so just be nice to everyone."
