Student Reviews
Representative reviews"Genuinely worthwhile"
Honestly, one of the best decisions I've made. The best part: the career fair connections with top tech employers are genuinely valuable. If I'm honest, the timetable has some awkward 9am / Friday afternoon slots. On the city — housing is the one real problem: start looking months before arrival. Overall, if you're considering Computer Science at Universiteit Leiden, I'd say go for it.
