The Netherlands is the best place on the planet. Past Review
By Lindsey H (Environmental Studies, University of Vermont) for
CIEE: Amsterdam - Summer Contemporary Netherlands Studies
I feel like I know The Netherlands inside and out. I met amazing people and it was great to experience a culture that has it together, but is 100% more laid back than America
