Unfortunately today was our last day here in the Netherlands and a quite interesting one too. We started the day at 8:15 am where we traveled to the floating farm. This is the only floating farm in the world where cows get to live and graze in a small field. First we were given a…

Today we got to visit inHolland’s Rotterdam campus. After a short tram ride across the city we were greeted with a very modern building. Here you will find the programs for business, law and finance in inHollands school of applied sciences. We started with a tour given by three faculty members of the college which…

Today was another tough wake up for an 8:15 am brief. I made up some sleep in our 1 hour drive to the Deltaworks. The Dutch Deltworks is a culmination of movable dams and locks that protects the Dutch coast and land from heavy storms. This project was launched after a disastrous storm hit the…

Today we got the chance to visit inHolland University’s Delft campus. Located here is the university of applied sciences. This is where you would be located if you choose to study aeronautical engineering. I was not aware of this and when I found out my day just got 1000% times better. I always had a…

Waking up with the most amount of sleep on this trip yet, I was ready to take on today. With a later breakfast we were on our way to the Watersnoodmuseum with a 1 hour trip. It is the site of one of Netherland’s worst floods in history. I was able to learn more about…

Today unfortunately was our last day in Amsterdam and no time was wasted. We started off with a quick metro ride to Our Lord in the Attic Museum. Which was a church that was hidden inside houses. When you looked from the outside it would look like a normal house but once you got inside…

Today we visited our biggest company yet, Nouryon, a Dutch Chemical Company. It started with an early wake up and about a 1.5 hour drive to their Deventer facility. When we came in we got a welcome and a quick safety video. Then we got a presentation from an alumni of Pitt and a current…

We had a very early start to the day, our transport was scheduled for 6:00 am. We began the day with a trip to Royal FloraHolland and the best way I can describe it is, organized chaos and it was fascinating. There are so many people driving around on these carts pulling small trailers of…
