First of all we want to mention that both universities are completly different. On the one hand that depends of course on the size of the university. Windesheim is a very large one, whereas the PHSt is a smaller one. There are much more facilities at Windesheim: They have a fitness center, a swimming pool, a pub and many more things to offer. Especially the Pub inside the university building, where you can order alcohol aswell as soft drinks, was completly new to us. I think that it depends on the open attitude which is very common in the Netherlands. There are a lot of places at university, where you can relaxe and work together with your classmates on your homework, prepare for an exam.
Compared to Austria we had less courses in the Netherlands, because the courses have more ECTS-credits in the Netherlands than in Austria. We finished most of them with a exam at the end of the period (one semester has two periods: first from the end of january till eastern and the second one from eastern till the end of may/ beginning of june). So we had half of our courses til the eastern and then our exams and afterwards the same with the rest of our courses. I really liked this timetable, because we had each week the same lessons, so it was easier to remember the last content, than with a one week break in-between.
