Venlo –
Just the beginning!
Why I chose Fontys
I’ve
finally made it here to Fontys International Business School, Venlo, studying International
Fresh Business Management. My main reason for choosing this specific course is to
broaden my horizons. I want to keep my options open when it comes to working in
the industry. I feel like veering off from the usual practical based course is
the best way to explore the business side of the industry and allowing myself
to learn as much as I can. I believe this course will help me develop a deeper
insight into the industry from different aspects and will ultimately help me in
choosing which exact path I may follow in the future.
Life in Venlo so far
College life
Classes
started on the 4th of February so for our first week we’ve just been
attending introductory classes with briefs on what we’ll be studying this
semester, group project set ups, exam info, etc. As we are attending a business
school classes are quite different to what we would be used to but I’m excited
for the semester ahead! Our classmates are friendly and very helpful when it
comes to understanding how classes are run and how to get around the college.

Life in Venlo so far
Living in
Venlo has been a great experience so far. I’ve made so many friends already and
I am constantly meeting new people. Living in student accommodation (only 10
min walk to the college and above a supermarket!) with other students from all
over the world has allowed me to learn about other cultures and meet some
amazing people. Everyone here is extremely kind and friendly!
We’ve
developed a large group of friends already and have gone on our first trip out
of Venlo together to Rotterdam. Travelling around the Netherlands is pretty
cheap and quick, group tickets can be purchased which gives you a substantial
discount on transport and entry fees to certain places. In Rotterdam we visited
some markets, well-known sites and took in some amazing scenery. The scenery
and buildings not just in Rotterdam but in Venlo is beautiful and I can’t wait
to explore more!
