That depends how you look at it. Most students live in stinky little
rooms. To study in Holland you don't need the money (Yet), you get
study-finance. But thats getting less and less every year. If you don't
work, you have a hard time.
Now I don't live near my school. I travel 2 and a half hour to and 2 and
a half hour from my school. In the east the appartments are so cheap
that they are cheaper than a small room in a big city. So every day I
travel about 5 hours, just to have some more space.
If you work next to your study, they reduce your study-finance. I do
work a lot and have just a bit more than others that are to lazy to
work. If you work as beeing a student you get punished and need to pay
your own stuff. And don't underestimate that most dutch students do have
loans to pay for more expensive studies.

But did you want to meet and have a drink in Amsterdam?
