Hey Laurent delighted to be acquainted with you. I am taking LLM International & European Law (PIL). I have not found a place yet. Still on the accommodations office waiting list! I will arrive on 30th. How did you find your flat? Do you know anyone looking to share an apartment I don't mind sharing one with others! Write back.Wed Aug 22, 2007 11:53 PM Ahdal |

yes, amsterdam is a hell to find something and i think you're not the only one in this case. i spent a lot of time looking for a flat on several websites : altijdwonen, directwonen, woninghuren, kamernet and asva (all are .nl). i finally found something on asva, luckily i got picked up first in a "lottery". what i can tell you is that it's way easier if you're there : it enables you to react fast to an announcement you find in a supermarket for example, or to visit a flat as soon as a landlord or an agency calls you. but taking my example, even if you get something it might not be the end : i have to do some works in my flat (walls and floor !) and buy a second hand fridge, etc...Thu Aug 23, 2007 11:34 AM i don't know anybody looking for a roommate directly but this morning i read emails from one of our future mates who finally created a yahoo group for those still roofless. this may help also, did you get it ? good luck ! laurent |

Hey Laurent, Thu Aug 23, 2007 12:05 PM Appriciate the information, I have been thinking that as you suggested it is easier to get a flat when in the city rather than out. No stress I am not in a hurry to secure a place now. Also as you said it is not going may not be end once one finds a place - other things needs to be done! I have received the email regarding those still roofless.Anyways enough of housing for the moment ;-) are you attending introduction day next Friday? |

Hey Laurent you seem prety busy with house furnishing! I gather you are already in Amsterdam since you are buying a fridge I don't suppose you intend to bring that from France ;-) I am packing my things not much but important things I don't want to forget behind. How much is your rent? and how far is your place from the university?

actually i'm still in france and will bring all my stuff from there ! i will explain u this later, it's a bit weird. my rent is 400/month (we are two, so very cheap) but my contract is only of 6 months (minimum, it's very likely that i can stay for the year) and i have some extra costs. i'm at the beginning of slotervaart, near the ring, so about 15 min by bike from the uni. quite happy with it but i won't have a relaxed first week with all the things to do !

hello guys! I am applying for LLM EU&Int. Law to UvA too. But I would like to start in February, that is why I am applying that late. Does anybody know anything about February start? I would like to hear any information. However I wrote several e-mails to UvA about Feb. start and I recieved only 2 answers. And they were different- one said: "There is no problem to start in feb." and the other: "feb. start is only possible in exeptional cases". Very confusing!Fri Aug 24, 2007 12:26 PM And one more thing- is there anyone who was not admitted? What grades do you need? Thank you very much! |

Hello Domina, I believe you should apply now even though you want to be admitted for february start. I would not wait till later if I were you. As for Feb start I don't know anything and UvA's response regarding your emails, I am not surprised because they are busy (under staffed) with students who are starting in September and their administration work is lets just say less competent, I've seen better! I think if you have 2:2 (UK system) you will get accepted I believe with even a 3rd they may admit you. I would apply now rather than later if I were you then they may be able to deal with your application in due course!. I can keep you updated once I start in September if you have further queries. I trust this is helpfull.Sat Aug 25, 2007 05:17 AM Ahdal |

I trust this is helpfull. I don't get that UK grade system! Can u give me another example, like on a 0-20 grade scale?! I plan to finish my degree in Portugal this year - 4 year sorta bachelor - and then move to Holland to continue my studies. My first option is Utrecht, and my second option is uVa, but I am not sure about the minimum grades they require :) Tks for helping me! |
