Hey students, welcome in Rotterdam

The academic year has begun again!
As a city, we’re proud that every year around 40,000 new MBO, HBO, and university students choose to study in Rotterdam. And we’re eager to show that pride through the campaign Rotterdam teaches you life (Rotterdam leert je leven). In this campaign, we join forces with several partners to warmly welcome all students—both online and across the city—and help them discover everything Rotterdam has to offer as a student city.

With a studie you are being prepared for yout future and Rotterdam learn's you how to live.

Starting a new study in Rotterdam can be both exciting and overwhelming. That’s why the campaign helps new students find their way and get off to a good start in their student life. From practical tips and information about studying in the city on the Maas to inspiring stories from fellow students about what they love to do in Rotterdam outside of their studies.

Connection with the city — and with each other: the campaign as a common thread
Every student follows a different program and has their own background and home situation. Yet, they all share one important thing: they chose Rotterdam as their place to study, and will therefore spend much of their time in this—perhaps still unfamiliar—city.
Whether it’s unwinding at the gym, getting creative in a nearby studio, or socializing at a student hub, students have shared interests that bring them closer together. And who better to tell that story than a fellow student?
Through the Rotterdam teaches you life campaign, we give students themselves the stage to share their experiences and tips—so that every student can quickly feel at home in their new city and discover all the unique opportunities it has to offer.
We do this from Rotterdam. Make it Happen, in collaboration with all educational institutions and enthusiastic Rotterdam student ambassadors.
