"I find Leiden University to be very liberating. It’s a place where you’re free to express your opinion and are expected to be open to other people’s opinion. Everybody who attends ultimately wants to make the world a better place with future jobs they’re aiming for."

"Leiden scored very well in the QS Rankings, as my course was in the top 25. I would totally recommend the city to international students who are coming to study, as it is a city full of young people."

"I chose Leiden University because of its reputation. What I would say to people when I talk about Leiden is its amazing academic history: even Albert Einstein taught here! Leiden University has always been academically relevant, with up-to-date publications."
