Hi,
I badly need some information before I arrive in Groningen on the 29th of August:

1. All the phone providers' websites are in Nederlaand. If I want to get a cellphone, which provider would you recommend. All I need is good customer service and quality product. I am willing to pay up to 50 Euros per month.

2. Where is the best place to go shopping for grocery in the city?

Thank you very much for answering these questions.

Regards.

I will be going to the university of Groningen for a semester starting in February 2006, and I would like some advices as to where can I look to find an apartment.. like any web sites, and any english or french newspapers that would have classified adds for appartment for rent...or any other suggestions?? (I saw there is a newspaper from the university itself, but I don't have the required password to access it yet...)

Thanks a lot!

Hi All

I am arriving in Groningen on the 29th of July (Friday). As I am only staying for one night can anyone recommend a good night club ? Many Thanks Pam

I've been in Groningen for a few months now, and will have some close friends visiting this week, would like to organise a nice time for them while here (I have a car)
Where would you take your friends? (we're all in our early/mid twenties)
1. In Groningen
2. Throughout Holland (amsterdam, rotterdam, etc day trips)
3. Germany (I know its a short drive from Groningen, but never went there!)

We're interested in unique experiences (i.e. outdoor festivals, circuses, musicals, outdoor fun, etc), with english speaking facilities

Thanks in advance :-)

Hi,

I was just curious what the best nights are to go out clubbing/bar hopping in Groningen (i.e. when the uni students like to party), and when the school go on break and the town becomes 'deserted'?

Thanks!

I wanted to see a show at VERA in Groningen next month. However, the tickets are sold out. What do you think are the chances of obtaining a ticket if I just show up? I heard there are people sometimes selling tickets outside for a more expensive price, which is okay...
I really want to see my favorite band, never seen them live, and it is my only chance...

Thanks for any info,
Tiffany

I used to have a list of good affordable hostels in Groningen but lost it. Anyone know a few off hand?

Also, what would be the chepeast way to get here from Berlin?

Thanks.

Hi everybody!
I'm thinking about doing a study in the Netherlands, and I heard from friends that Groningen is a nice studentcity! Does anybody know this place? How is it to study there?
:)

I know this might sound like a weird question, but I've never attended a '"Black tie code Ball" before, and need to buy a ballgown- does anyone know of any shops in Groningen that sell this type of clothes?

I am going to do an internship in Haren, next to Groningen, next year.
Is it a cosmopolitan city? If not, is it easy to travel to Amsterdam and Utrecht?
And how can I find accomodation? What do you suggest? It's hard to find fellowships, so I am pretty much screwed money-wise...

I'm moving to NL for few months on a work related assignment. Although i'll be working in Assen, the people i'm corresponding with recommend living in Groningen (we'll all pool transport together)

The company is telling me there is a slim chance of finding an available apartment in Van Goghstraat (where most the ppl im corresponding with live), and I was wondering if anyone knows of any closeby areas I can search in....also does anyone know if there any apartment renting websites I can find that are in English? (No dutch, but from surfing so many dutch websites I think i am picking it up ;-) )

Hello there!

I'll be staying in Groningen from 27.12.-5.1. Culture is my main interest and I'm looking forward to seeing your museums. I'm also planning to see Kamp Westerbork and Bourtange.

My question is: could someone tell me if there are other historical places near Groningen. I'm especially interested in military history so are there any battlefields nearby or military museums. How about castles or similar buildings?

Thank you for your help!

Hei there everyone

A friend of mine and me studying physiotherapy will probably get the chance to get to Groningen for a practical training in a hospital next year.
Just wanted to know if by any chance someone of you is studying physiotherapy in groningen and would like to get in touch? would be cool =)

i'd also like to know if there's a chance to go horseriding in Groningen or taking riding lessons. I'd miss that being away from Bern.

thanks for your help and have a great summer =)
