UN Studio / Working in Amsterdam

Is there anyone here currently working in Amsterdam with UN Studio? There is a good possibility I'll be beginning the trainee program in summer. I'm looking for someone to ask questions to regarding housing, expected expenses, other logistical issues, etc. Please e-mail me if you're willing to trade a few e-mails. Thanks.

what is their "training" program like?
how long is it for?
what will you be doing?
is it paid?

what year are you in school?

A few friends of mine have recently moved there too. In my friends' case, a studio apt of around 20m2( near Albert Cyupmarkt ) is of around 850 euro per month.

You can also check out websites, like kamernet.nl, kamertje.nl, marktplaats.nl (<click Woningen | Huur) or even duwo.nl, if you prefer places to share with other ppl. For housing agent, you may try http://www.rotsvast.nl/ ...... Hope this helps.

850 for 20sqm is on the high side of things. if you don't mind house sharing you can find 20sqm rooms for 400-500.

How difficult is it to get a visa from the UK?
And would knowledge of RhinoScript be valuable?
Thinking about this in the future as well, so thanks for all the information.

if you are actually paying 850 euros for 20sqm in Amsterdam, you are getting ripped off. No doubt about that.
