Hey everyone?

Question to AMS candidates, did you here from uni about the results? It’s stated that the results are coming out at the second half of April , perhaps they notify only successful applicants. Please share!

Hey everyone,

I know this is probably the 1000th housing question... I’m from Finland and I got accepted to the PPLE bachelor’s program. Excited, but I don’t have housing yet. I know Amsterdam’s housing shortage is beyond cooked and I’ve been diligently searching though it’s still early.

I’m also pretty broke, which doesn’t make things easier. Do you think it’s even worth coming without a place lined up? Or would it actually be easier once I’m in the Netherlands and can do viewings in person?

Ik kom van de HvA en ga naar de UvA. Nu heb ik een nieuwe laptop nodig. Ik weet uit ervaring dat ze bij de HvA soms programma’s gebruikten die niet of lastig toegankelijk waren voor MacBook-gebruikers.

Is dit bij de UvA ook het geval? Zo ja, dan weet ik in ieder geval wat ik niet moet kiezen.

Verder nog aanraders voor laptops? Mijn enige twee eisen zijn dat hij licht van gewicht is en dat de accu het in ieder geval een hele schooldag volhoudt.

Ik zit in de Finance richting, als dat nog uitmaakt met Excel.

Alvast bedankt!

hello, since exams are coming up for many students, i was wondering if they are considering postponing them as many are unable to access canvas for readings and info. i am just beginning to revise for my exams in 2 weeks and cannot access any readings or assignments, i have saved many but some web classes cannot be accessed.

does anyone know if our assignments and exams will get postponed or cancelled?

update: they cancelled our class because they can’t access our assignments

I'm about to graduate high school and I'm going to study computational social sciences at UvA, but since this programme is kind of niche, there isn't a lot of info on it online so maybe someone who is studying css rn can help me out. 😊🤞

1. This might sound stupid but how are the holidays there. I'm used to having 1-2 weeks off school every 6 weeks or so but from what I can see there are only 3 total weeks of holidays excluding summer break. Ofc I know you don't have as many classes a week as at school, but still, do people not get burnt out or something?

2. From what I've heard there are no exams in this course?? Because it's projects based. I was wondering if you then just attend class regularly for the whole year even when other students have their exam weeks/resits.

3. I've also heard that there are only 2 days of classes a week? I got most of my info from reddit so I really dk. Is that true and if it is does that actually mean you only come to campus 2 days a week or are there other things besides classes/lectures that you come to campus for?

4. What is the overall gender demographic of the class? And are the people friendly and not-stuck up there?

5. Is this course super difficult and does it lead to sleep deprivation or is it manageable?

Hey everyone, I've been accepted to AUC liberal arts and sciences and today is the last day to pay the residential campus fee but I cannot find *where* do you pay it? I haven't been sent a payment link and in none of the UvA accounts or platforms do I see the options - in the AUC Portal I only see the option for course registration.

What should I do? What am I missing?

Thank you!!

UPDATE: Issue solved!:)
