My deep gratitude for this video Ariel! LOVE your content
This video encouraged me sm to apply to Maastricht university, I would love to hear about your experience in the selection process soon
This was really helpful. Thank you so much!
thank you for the video!
Feeling melancholic about my student time in Maastricht... :D
Thank you so much!
I see on your Instagram you're often exploring the city. I have been living here since January but I haven't done anything too adventurous near by. Can you please give some recommendations on things to go do?? Thanks :)
Great content, useful informations . Thank you pretty girl
thank you for this valuable and helpful video! currently I’m waiting till 15.04 to see if I got accepted. fingers crossed🌝
Best of luck! Hope it all goes well
How did it go?
Did you get in?
Hi my daughter is going to study MU this September. She is a classical piano student. So she has a big piano. I will be going to Masstricht to find an apartment for her in August. Could you please recommend a nice and safe area where she might be able to find an apartment? She prefers an area with close access to a supermarket.
Hi Ariel, my name is Trine and I am from the U.S.
I have been watching your videos for a few months now, and I must say you are so genuine and pure in your videos. I love your camera work also!
I just found out a week ago that I was accepted into Maastricht University for the foundation programme that starts in Oct for European Law. I am so beyond excited to attend Maastricht University in the fall.
Thank you for the video, perhaps we could even exchange information, I’d love to meet up sometime in Maastricht! ❤️
I’ve just watched this video now, however, I have just finished the Foundation Programme, so, if you need anything or just want to know more how the program works, I’ll be glad to answer any questions!
@@JoaoVictor-ic5gr hey what did you think of the foundation program is it worth it ?
Im in my senior year, just getting ready for UM foundation courses. Is it competitive for the UM foundation program? It says something about math, but I'm not really a math whiz, you know... Could use some assistance.
@@Chloeeeeee.0510 hi there! I just finished my foundation programme year actually. Yes there is a math requirement for all participants. I did the arts and culture track therefore the math was “basic”. Historically I’ve always not been the best at maths, but since I was in basic it was manageable. I did have to do a resit for it, but I passed, therefore I was able to continue at Maastricht uni. What track did you choose to pursue?
@@trineestelle653 Wow, thanks for the reply! I really appreciate it. I'm aiming to major in biomedical science for my undergrad, so I'm thinking of applying for the science program. But, my math grades are just sitting at 3.0 out of 4.0.. 😢
How do you create contracts without the ID? Genuinely curious because we use it in Spain and Portugal. To be safe that none of them will do something related to scamming with the money… and we need it for taxes ahaha
Hi Ariel. I am looking for a studio to rent in Maastricht as student. Do you have any recommendations?
Do you have advice for the selection process? I am currently applying for medicine but i believe psychology is also a numerus fixus programs or if you have friends from medicine, do you know anything about the process in UM?
Hello Ariel, I want to ask if it is possible to apply for a Pre-master at UM with an IELTS 6 overall and if it is possible to apply for any scholarship after finishing the pre-master program? Hopefully, you will reply and answer my question. Thank you and have a great life:))
Thanks so much for this video it’s really helpful! Just wondering the best part time jobs in Maastricht and how often you can realistically work with school (looking at doing law)? Also what is the nightlife scene like, i.e. pubs, clubs, house parties, etc?
If you come internationally, you can only work 16hrs a week during the school year and full time in the summer. Many students do delivery jobs on bikes to work flexibly with school, or in cafes/restaurants on weekends.
Nightlife is very active on weekends with lots of frat clubs or house parties all around the city :) lots of pubs , especially in the summer and spring
Hey Ariel, great video! Could you answer the following questions in your next Q&A please?😊
Friends from business faculties at Maastricht have said that tutors and professors can be hit or miss sometimes, what has your experience been like? I have a lot of anxiety and wondered if they respect that or if they force actively participation in the tutorials.
My second question is a bit similar but I hear students can tutor too? Do they really do a good job like actual tutors? And can we switch groups if we don't like them?
Thankyou!!🤩
Thanks for the question - I'll try to address that in the next video or answer you in a comment in the next few days!
What are your plans after finishing your education.? Back to Canada ?
I remeber the time I came to Maastricht and my problems with housing. I booked a place in Belgium on distance. I was travelling from Poland and when I finally came it turned out that the room will not be free until the next week (I didn't know about that), the place is unfurnished (I didn't know that), the place was the most tine and shitty place far, far away from the city. I turned out I didn't take it and landed with my giant suitcase on the street:) It was 2006 - it's a shame to hear that housing is still such a big problem in Maastricht.
Hey can i talk to u ...can we chat? Plz i reallly need it rn i need help ...plz let me know😭
Hey, since just I got accepted to the Bachelor in psychology, I was really wondering how you first got in touch with other students and if there is anyway in getting in touch with them before September! :) Thank you for your videos you really helped me during my application process too!
Hi! I also got accepted there and we already have a group on WhatsApp. You can find the link by going to the mentioned r/studyinthenetherlands. It was posted on the 15th
@@igamaachowska8841 yep! This is what I did too- met some of my good friends in Maastricht through this WhatsApp group :) super helpful for information on classes through the year too
@@igamaachowska8841 Hi, I couldn’t find that what’s app link, would you mind helping me out? I’d really appreciate it.
@@igamaachowska8841 Hey, I can’t find the link either, could you send it to me via Facebook or something? That would be so helpful :)
Hi! I loved your video:), it is really helpfull thankss
I was wondering how much people there were in the bachelor of psychology track
Hi! I believe it changes , but last year it was 515 students who were accepted, both English and Dutch tract
@@arielsjournal I had also another question if you didn´t mind.
When would you recommend arriving in Maastricht?
@@noraromero6837 usually students arrive in August, I recommend coming at the beginning of the month to have time to settle in. I arrived in July too, which was nice to have the extra time but not entirely necessary
thank you so much for this video you answered my all questions however when will the 1st year start because my mail says that in September but um's calendar says that in October so I'm confused right now
the school year starts the 1st of september so I’m guessing then!
@@blakegray8006 thanks :))
Typically inkom week and introduction week happen at the end of august and the school year starts sept 1!
@@arielsjournal thank you :))
Heyy ariel
I just had a question
I am still in high school and i am thinking of applying to Maastricht uni
I just wanted to ask are there any subject requirements that i need to take up in high school ?
Loved the rest of video really helpful
Hi! No subject requirements to apply for psychology at least, just a high school diploma that is accepted :)
I have not take biology or maths would that be ok😅
could you give me some advice on how to pass the test to enter? The seats are only 500 and I would like to know how you managed to rank
Hi! I'll be working on a video to discuss this :)
Hi, has someone already booked your studio when you leave? If not, can we contact you to snap it up for our daughter who is a freshman at the university college starting in August?
Hi! Sorry for the late reply - Yes, this apartment was already re-booked before I moved out, I'm sorry!
I plan on applying for the fall 2023 semester. Will you please please make a video on the selection video?
Hey! Me too, do you think to study something for the selection process?
@@elenabonincontro2572 Hey 💛. What do you mean?
@@orianaribeiro for example here in Italy we have to prepare a little bit for the selection exams and study chemistry very very well, and I don't know whether to study a little more for this selection process
U give out great vibe
Hey, I have a virtual viewing coming up, what are some good questions to ask?
also any tips for making friends?
Location, is furniture included/ in what condition does the place come? Are utilities included in price, if so which ones? If not, are there additional service fees? What kind of other tenants are in the building/house? Last renovations/work on the place? What is the energy rating?
And good luck with the viewing!
Are you renting out your studio after you move out? I'm coming to Maastricht for next year and am looking for studios to stay :)
Hi! Since the landlord and Agency control the lease, it is not in my control who receives the studio after I leave !
@@arielsjournal is the listing up? Maybe you could send me it if it’s not too much bother
@@madalenamartins8399 hi, it is not listed since i have not signed on a new place yet, I am not confirmed to be leaving in case I am unable to find somewhere else to rent. I have many people asking about it, so I will update the info once I’ve decided if I’m leaving :)
@@arielsjournal thank you so much anyways!
Would you recommend paying a fee to get a subscription to housing websites? (E.g. for Maastricht housing there is a fee of 39 euros)
Yes I do! I know the cost is frustrating but they can be very helpful
Honestly stay on the Facebook groups, it's a lot of work but personally paying for Maastricht housing has been really useless for me
@@kalli2271 I personally have no experience on maastrichthousing for actually getting a place, but have found pararius and kamernet most helpful :)
@@arielsjournal I do have to admit I got lucky on the facebook group because I moved during lockdown so a lot of rooms were available then
Just gonna add another perspective, I've found my place on maastrichthousing and am really happy with it! The fee is frustrating for sure, but in my opinion it is worth paying :))
Did you have any deficiencies?
Just got in the international bsc business numerous fixus program for 2023. Anybody wants to connect!?
hey im a local dont trash our ''mountain'' please 😅🤣
