ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Nijmegen is the oldest city in the Netherlands, dating back to the 1st century BC.

There are many restaurants, social activities, and student-centered organizations that create a vibrant atmosphere. Outside the city you will be immersed in Dutch countryside with wooded hills, wide rivers, and beautiful bridges. Nijmegen is also a short train ride away from Amsterdam, Brussels, Frankfurt, and the beautiful resort towns on the Rhine River.
