Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colours. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.                 /T. Pratchett, A Hat Full of Sky, p. 349/

Best university in the Land

And this is where I study. Meh, yeah, it's pretty cool. The education, not the lusciousness of the town, I mean:)

The best university in the Netherlands is based in Wageningen, say students. The National Student Survey 2013 shows that the students of Wageningen University are more satisfied with their education than students from other universities.

One more Windmill Windup, one more crazy weekend and most fun and enjoyable days you can find in a long while. (Though, to be honest, with the frisbee community, it's hard not to have fun!) Check out some crazy pics on the Windmill website, or alternatively, Rene Westenberg's photos, here.

My favourite magazine ... Resource to be found online

From topics on climate change, youth employment and policy issues in the EU, to coursework, professors and local Green Office initiatives, Resource has it all.

It a printed and online edition of the university newspaper and to be honest, I am not sure if it is run only by students or also by paid professionals. The diversity of articles is enormous.

Now... access to resource ... anywhere, anytime? Yes, please!

No probs: just change the last (two) digits of the link below (i.e., for March's edition, type: "...0714.pdf") and voilla!

And don't mention it.
