Hey everyone,

Next September I will be in Rotterdam for over a year as it's my 3rd year (study abroad option) at university. I will be at the Inholland Rotterdam for 6 months during that time, I know it's a wack university but it's the only Dutch link our university had!

I'll probably be living in either Charlois (sp?) or Hoogvliet depending on my financial state by the end of this year.

The main thing is... I'm gonna be a loner at the beginning because I only know people in Amsterdam and not Rotterdam. Hoping to make some new friends not only at uni and work there, but some people from this site!
