Utrecht University offers many different student organizations and extracurricular activities, including the Parnassos cultural center. Since I am really into music, I can explore my talent here. Besides, I can safely say that almost everyone speaks English, and exploring the city by bike is awesome as there are lots of beautiful scenery. I have now lived for a year, and still, I am finding numerous great places to eat and drink. On weekends, I can swim in the Lake that can be found on almost every corner in the city of Utrecht. This is such a stunning environment to live in, is not it?
