1 Life in the Netherlands Your destination
Dutch Social Life
The Netherlands is a small, yet very diverse country. The Dutch are known as a nation of traders, who are open to change and are progressive in their economic as well as political policies. The Dutch way of doing business internationally has been famous for hundreds of years.
The Dutch generally prefer an ‘organised’ life. Most Dutch people plan their days in advance, using their diaries intensively. When they get together, it’s often by appointment. It is generally considered impolite not to show up, or to be late (although in the south it is not unusual for colleagues or guests to arrive a few minutes late). If you’re invited to someone’s home, it should be clear from the invitation, whether or not you can expect a meal.
The Netherlands is responsible for a large share of the world’s trade in a number of sectors, including in particular dairy and meat production, floriculture, bulb growing, nursery stock and glasshouse horticulture. Using the latest technology and making optimum use of available resources, the Netherlands has been one of the largest exporters of agricultural products in the world for a long time. This success in agricultural trade is not only the result of highly effective production methods, but also due to sound management, marketing and logistics. Of course, the Netherlands is best known for its windmills, clogs, cheese and tulips, but also its liberal attitudes towards controversial subjects such as drug use, prostitution, abortion and euthanasia. These are all still aspects of Dutch culture and have, without doubt, influenced Dutch society. Living in the Netherlands, however, you’ll soon realise that there is much more to the country and its people than this stereotype suggests... so come and find out for yourself!
Dutch people are often very direct in their communication towards others. This can sometimes come as a bit of a surprise to people from other cultures, and it can easily lead to misunderstandings. On the other hand, it also makes communication quite straightforward. So, if you have a problem or a request, don’t be afraid to approach your lecturers, student adviser, or the staff of the International Office.
Food The traditional Dutch food is based on the ‘farmer’s cuisine’ and is usually simple, but filling. The Dutch generally have only one warm meal a day, usually in the early evening around 6 pm. A traditional Dutch meal consists of boiled potatoes, vegetables and meat or fish, sometimes preceded by soup, and followed by a dessert of pudding or yoghurt. The Dutch have also adopted lots of international recipes, especially from Indonesia, Surinam, China and other European countries, such as Italy. So traditional Dutch food is now eaten much less often. For lunch, the Dutch generally take their own sandwiches from home.
Religion Traditionally, the northern part of the Netherlands is Protestant, and the southern part Roman Catholic. But this has changed greatly over the past few decades. Fewer than a third of Dutch people have a religious faith and nearly one in four describe themselves as atheists, according to the latest census of belief in the Netherlands. The Dutch consider themselves to be tolerant and open towards other cultures. There are now as many religions as there are ethnic groups in the Netherlands, which is a lot. Christianity and Islam are most common.

How to get around the Netherlands? Transportation
Train
The city of Den Bosch has a lot of one-way streets. These generally apply to cars, but check the signs for exceptions. Cyclists, for example, are often allowed to cycle ‘the wrong way’ down a one-way street. Parking is expensive and spaces can be hard to find. The easiest way to get around is by bike or by bus.
If you don’t use the train that often, you can also buy a single-use card at the ticket machines, using your bank or credit card. However, you will have to pay an extra fee. So it’s cheaper to use your OV chip card. To find out from which platform your train leaves, you need to look at the screens in the central hall of the station, or on the signs at each platform.
Cycling Almost all streets have separate bike lanes. At various places all around the city, you’ll find special parking areas for bikes. There is also free secure bike parking at the central railway station, and near the city centre. For further details, type in ‘bicycle storage’ on the tourist information office website: visitbrabant.com. Make sure you lock your bike at all times. Bike locks and padlocks in all shapes and sizes are available in cycle shops and departments stores. There is a bike shop at Den Bosch railway station. You can also find bike shops in the centre of the city, or you can look for a second hand bike on marktplaats.nl (in Dutch only).
Road safety
Plan your journey You can plan your journey by public transportation in advance on the travel website: 9292.nl. Dutch Railways (NS) also have a journey planner: ns.nl. Both 9292 and NS have an app you can download.
Travel Discount Dutch Railways do not offer discounts for foreign students. However, with an off-peak season ticket (Dal Voordeel) you can travel at a 40% discount outside peak hours. Check out www.ns.nl/en for more information. Occasionally, different stores such as Kruidvat, Hema and Blokker sell cheap tickets (train and/or other public transportation) for a weekend or for a day. The following website (in Dutch only) shows the current special offers: treinreiziger.nl.
If you are driving or cycling in the city or the suburbs you need to be aware of the ‘right has priority’ rule. Even if you think you’re on the main road, this may not be the case. If there are no markings on a road joining from the right (to indicate that they need to stop or give way) you MUST let any traffic, including bikes, go first. You will see people driving or cycling over a pedestrian crossing when someone is waiting to cross. Although this is common, it is illegal – and dangerous. So, please let the pedestrian cross!
Public transport If you travel by public transport frequently, we recommend you to buy a pre-paid ‘OV chip’ travel card. This is the payment method for public transport in the Netherlands. You can purchase an ‘anonymous’ card at the service counter in the central railway station. The ‘personal’ OV chip card can only be bought online. More information about the OV chip card can be found at ov-chipkaart.nl.You can use your OV chip card for busses, trams and trains. Remember to check in and check out on every journey!

2 Life in Den Bosch The city of Den Bosch
Medical Care & dentists
‘s-Hertogenbosch (or Den Bosch in short) is a lively city in the south of the Netherlands. It is the administrative centre of the province of North-Brabant and the focal point of a region of rapid economic growth. Den Bosch has approximately 151,000 inhabitants and and known for being one of the most hospitable cities in the Netherlands. Den Bosch is a city where old and new come together. In some ways it represents 2 key aspects of Dutch culture: it’s busy and sometimes hectic but, at the same time, attractive, intimate and friendly.
Hospital and Emergency help
The city has good connections to major cities in the Netherlands as well as the rest of Europe. E.g. Amsterdam (1 hour), The Hague (1.5 hours), Brussels in Belgium (2 hours) and Cologne in Germany (2.5 hours). As one of the oldest cities in the country, Den Bosch has numerous monuments, including the impressive Saint Jan Cathedral. It also has various important nature reserves close by, such as the fens of the ‘Oisterwijkse Vennen’ and the largest sand plain in north-western Europe, the ‘Loonse & Drunense Duinen’.
If you’re ill during the night or at the weekend and need a doctor, you can call 088 – 876 5050 (‘Huisartsenpost’). There’s also an emergency room in the main hospital close to the university, but you need to call the huisartsenpost first. They will tell you what to do and where to go. In the case of a genuine (life-threatening) emergency, you can call 112. This will con- nect you immediately to the central service for the police, fire brigade and ambulance. The main hospital in Den Bosch, which is also the one closest to the university is called ‘Jeroen Bosch Ziekenhuis’. More information (in Dutch only) can be found on the website: jeroenboschziekenhuis.nl. If you need to go to the hospital or emergency room, always bring the following with you: • • •
your Identification Document or passport, insurance pass, means of payment e.g. a bank pass/debit card or cash.
Whatever you’re looking for, Den Bosch has lots to offer to you as an international student!

Doctor A doctor (general practitioner) is called a ‘huisarts’ in Dutch. Some doctors ask you to make an appointment, others have special consultation slots where you don’t need an appointment (‘inloopspreekuur’). Home visits are only possible for patients whose illness means they are unable to visit the doctor by themselves. In all other cases, you need to make an appointment with the doctor.
students. They speak several languages in our Medical Contact Center (currently Dutch, English & Polish). If you need to go to the doctor’s, always bring the following with you:
When making an appointment, the receptionist will ask you a few questions regarding your symptoms. She is trained to schedule appointments and to give advice over the telephone. She follows a standard protocol that has been drawn up by the doctor, who is jointly responsible for any advice the receptionist gives. Like the doctor, the assistant is also bound by professional confidentiality.
Pharmacy
A consultation with a doctor will cost approximately € 35 - € 50. If you have Dutch basic health insurance and are registered with a doctor, you sometimes still need to pay directly (in most cases only possible in cash). If you do not have Dutch health insurance, you will allways be asked to pay in cash on the site. You may be able to claim any costs back from your own health insurance. If you need to see a doctor, you can contact:
Fonkelzorg Den Bosch Address: City: Telephone: Website:
Hinthamerstraat 217 ‘s-Hertogenbosch 073-6132450 https://fonkelzorg.nl/

your Identification Document or passport, insurance pass, cash (> € 50).
If you need any medication, you can get it at the pharmacy (‘apotheek’). There are several pharmacies in Den Bosch. There is one near HAS University of Applied Sciences, Apotheek West, at the beginning of Copernicuslaan. There is also a pharmacy in the hospital, near the main entrance. Note: for many medicines you need a prescription from your doctor. Medicines that are provided without prescription (such as certain painkillers) can also be bought at cheaper chemist shops such as Kruidvat, Etos, as well as at several supermarkets.
Dentists A dentist (‘tandarts’) works by appointment only. A consultation with a dentist can be expensive and is not always covered by your insurance. If you need to go to the dentist always bring the following with you: your Identifi cation Document or passport, Insurance pass, means of payment e.g. a bank pass/debit card or cash. The following dentist is available for international students, who are not registered as a patient:

Shopping Den Bosch city centre offers a wide choice of shops. Most of them are situated around the market square. Here, you’ll find clothes shops, bookshops and various department stores as well as a number of speciality shops. A large market is held in the market square every Wednesday and Saturday. On Friday mornings there is also an organic fruit and vegetable market. Fruit and vegetables are generally cheaper on the market than in the supermarket. Supermarkets in the Netherlands are similar to many others around the world, although generally not on the same scale as the hypermarkets in some countries. As you might expect, they vary in price and quality. Most supermarkets are located in shopping malls or in residential areas. Below is a short list of the most common supermarkets:
