Discover student life and the city of Utrecht

“The city centre library is a striking blend of old and new, where modern and classical architecture come together seamlessly. Its halls and rooms hold stories of the past, as we learned in one of our first lectures: the building once served as a residence for one of Napoleon's puppet kings during the French rule in the Netherlands. This history makes the library particularly special, especially for students of the humanities.”

“Even though I am not part of the humanities, I like to study in in the city center. It is specially beautiful and also located just in the heart of the city, so in between studying one can easily go to cafés or just walk around the city.”

Thomas

“Though it’s always busy, the study spots are great. The café downstairs is nice, and I like to take study breaks in the courtyard when the sun is out.”
