Abroad 2023
November 08, 2023by: Charles B - United StatesProgram: Business & Economics in EuropeIntegrating into European economics through the lens of your travel times in Maastricht creates a whole different perspective. Understanding new ways of understanding issues through PBL and translating that your “built in” American culture is second to none. Amy has been the most helpful person in my transition here. Messaging her at 10pm to the countless emails back and forth proves they truly care about your experience here. Pushing myself to areas that I didn’t know I had through my experience by seeing almost every country that Europe has to offer. Going to the places that most people wouldn’t think of show the pure beauty that society has to offer.
Dream come true
May 02, 2023by: Alana Bacher - United StatesProgram: Business & Economics in EuropeThe marketing class I took through the CES courses available was a super interactive and helpful class to take. The professor was super awesome and really personable, and the course was super easy to follow along with. All the staff members are very approachable and if they aren’t able to help you with something, they will send you to someone who can help you. Some CES staff members are better than others, but they are all easily accessible and will do what they can for you. My experience has been a dream come true and has opened my eyes so much more to the world around me. Although I feel like an ignorant American at times, it has been so much fun meeting people from all over the world and making connections with so many new people that will last me a lifetime.
Nice time in CES
April 18, 2023by: Marie Nguyen - VietnamProgram: Business & Economics in EuropeHoi hoi! I am majoring in Data Science focusing on entrepreneurs, organizations and society. In Maastricht I am currently studying Business and Economics in Europe program with Datamining, Data Analytics at UCM and Marketing and Economics of Integration at CES. CES staffs are so nice and attentively assistive. I miss my program coordinator, Laura, who helped me a lot at first in choosing courses and her attentive assistance in how to prepare for my study abroad. My studying abroad so far is more than wonderful and fulfilled with joy and happiness. Not only do I get to know more friends from different universities but I also explore more picturesque views in the Netherlands.

Throughout my college experience, I had family, friends, and colleagues who had each studied abroad at some point in their lives. Each of them gave not only a positive account of their experience but also considered it life-changing.
