RU campus
The city campus of RU provides students with countless opportunities for work and recreation — from sitting in a coffee shop with a laptop to internships at large companies. Nijmegen has a well developed entertainment infrastructure, but the rhythm of the big city can be distracting for some students. University students have access to the library. It contains a collection of scientific papers, textbooks and fiction. Not only locals study at RU, but also students from other countries. This is a unique opportunity to get in touch with the culture of other countries, meet representatives of different nationalities and make friends around the world.
