Is there a reduced price if I can't participate during the full three days of the program?
HvA students: No. You don't have to worry about this, since you don't have to pay the participation fee.
UvA students: No. Under no circumstances can ISN provide you with a reduction to the participation fee.
The ISN Introduction Program interferes with other obligations that I have. Can I miss out on some activities?
The
Introduction is specifically designed for students who are new to
Amsterdam, and therefore offers a variety of activities to get to know
the city a bit better. During these three days, two students who have
been living in Amsterdam for at least a year, will be assigned to you
as your coaches. Although you will miss out on some great activities
and on the bonding that usually happens between the group members, if
absolutely necessary, you are allowed to fulfill other duties during
these days. Remember to contact your coaches about your time of absence
and contact them when you're done and want to get back.
Does ISN provide a Pick-Up Service?
No, ISN doesn't provide a Pick-Up Service. Our experience is that students are perfectly able to find their way themselves, since it's very easy to get to Amsterdam from the Airport. If you want directions from Schiphol Airport to get to Central Station or to the office of DeKey to pick up your keys, click 'Key Directions' on our website for more information.
