The Netherlands is one of the most popular destinations for studying abroad, and for good reason. The country offers top quality education, an open-minded and intercultural environment, safety, a great work: life balance, and the highest employment rate among European countries ( Statista, 2022 ).

Studying abroad is one of the major unsung advantages of being a student. Getting to explore your interests in a new, unfamiliar setting is a unique experience — something that’ll only get tougher to do once you settle down and start your career.

Governor Glenn Youngkin's proposed budget amendments for the 2023-2024 biennium includes a plan to merge two Hampton Roads schools into one. Youngkin's budget includes a framework and timeline to merge Eastern Virginia Medical School and Old Dominion University. Under his plan, EVMS would become the “Eastern Virginia Health Sciences Center” at ODU. That merger would take place no later than the summer of 2024.
