Student Life
Campus life
Rotterdam is truly a world city. Home to the largest port in Europe, Rotterdam has global trade and transport links. The city's history of international trade has helped to shape what is now seen as the typical 'roll up your sleeves and get cracking' Rotterdam mentality. Known as the Netherlands' ultimate festival city, Rotterdam buzzes with activity all year round. Cultural, sporting, and music events are plentiful, while the diversity of cultures means that the cuisine is truly global, too.
Student clubs
A great way to get to know other students at Rotterdam Business School, and to have a lot of fun, is to join RISA - Rotterdam International Student Association.
Each year RISA organises lots of activities for both Dutch and international students alike, including social dinners and parties (boat party, beer-pong), international trips, sporting events, guest lectures etc. Visit the RISA website for the latest news and events.

Ups & Downs at RUAS
Anonymous rated 3 out of 5 stars
The program itself was very insightful and I have gained a lot of knowledge on different topics and fields within Business. However, when it came to organising and supporting students with projects such as internship or exchange semester, there could have been more guidance coming from the university.
