I was fortunate enough to travel to the Netherlands and attend Vrije Universiteit’s amazing summer school this year (2019). I highly recommend their classes to anyone who is looking for something extra with their studies! It is an invaluable and exciting opportunity to develop, gain and engage with new knowledge, and be exposed to unique academic perspectives — while immersing in Dutch culture, exploring the beautiful cities in the Netherlands, getting outside your comfort zone, and creating new friendships with peers from around the world.
Due to my interest in psychology, I chose two classes called: Global Health, and The Beautiful Mind: Global Perceptions of Mental Health. These classes definitely gave me a chance to gain deeper insight in global health issues, while learning about mental health education and clinical systems in other countries. If you have any questions about the experience, always feel free to ask! I wish you all the best.
