I know this is not the place to asking about education, but I was looking to apply for a masters course in 3d animation in Amsterdam, and couldn't find any (if anyone knows of a college or uni with such courses please tell me) so instead I found such courses in the Utrecht University which means I might be moving there if I it is the next best decision. I'm obviously not choosing this in terms of university's importance but more rather to do with the location. I live in Lebanon right now, so I'm wondering in general, what life is like in Utrecht compared to life in Amsterdam?

I have tried to book a room at the hotel Estherea and the prices are 490 euros for the first 2 nights, 400 euros for the third night and then it goes down to 245 Euros. I don't understand why there is such a huge difference in prices. Another VT friend paid about 200Euros per night last year. I wonder if there is a special event that would justify these prices. Way over my budget anyway :-)

How is the above itinerary looks like? Suggest transportation options also., will renting a car be better or I can tour packages - what will be the cost benefit? If I rent a car is parking, roads, traffic manageable and good?
