Hello everyone!
We are Aisha (she/her), Melanie (she/her) and Dagmar (she/her) and we are the Resident Assistants (RA’s) of Bercylaan/BOLD. What does this mean? Basically, we are here to help you answer questions about Amsterdam, university life, your room and anything else to make your stay in our beautiful city more enjoyable.
We also organise events so that you can get to know your neighbours, get to know the area and most importantly make you comfortable and feel at home.
Hi I’m Aisha! I’m currently starting my second year of the masters Curating Art and Cultures. In my free time I like to go to museums, the cinema and chill in the park (there are over 30 in Amsterdam!) Ask me about the cultural events the city has to offer and the best places to get a drink ;)
Aisha’s Amsterdam tip: get a Cineville pass! For less than 20 euro a month you can go to all the independent cinemas in the country
Hi I'm Dagmar. I'm doing my masters in work and organizational psychology at the VU. In my free time I like to read, cook with friends and explore Amsterdam. Ask me about nice cafés and restaurants or interesting museums.
Dagmar's Amsterdam tip: with the museum card you have access to more than 400 museums in the Netherlands for one year.
Hi there! I'm Melanie and I'll be doing my Masters in Crimology this year. You can ask me anything about studentlife in Amsterdam, from the best beers to more practical matters. Have a swim at Marineterrein, go for lunch in Oosterpark or join a spinning class at Rocycle: Don't miss out on anything this year!
Melanie's Amsterdam tip: Download the 'Too good to go' app! It's a great way to save leftover food from restaurants and supermarkets for little money.
