This is addressed to the Dutch members of this board:
In January I visited the Netherlands (Tilburg area mostly), and I fell in love with the country.
I have been working very hard to learn the Dutch language so that within the next year, or so, I may be able to live in Holland.
I’m 21 years of age, I will be graduating from college in two months with a degree in Communications… how difficult will it be for me to find a job and start a new life in your beautiful country? 
I’ve heard that there are job opertunities over there. Or at least I know there are for computer programmers. And in Belgium.
hi there,
the best way is to find a job first and then come here… (i guess)
big companies offer staff sometimes houses or accomodation.
i have no idea if you need a visa or permission to work here.
There are tons of online dutch jobhunting sites.
try: werk.pagina.nl/ with lots of jobhunting sites.
veel succes! 
groetjes,
Q
I have the opposite question for ppl from the USA… i want to go and study there for a year, maybe 2 years, but how do you do that. I have to find the place to study first 
but when i have found that, how can i come and live over there for 2 years? As a tourist i’m only allowed to stay for 3 months. Any pointers to information on this are most welcome
PasQuale,
Check out this website.

It’s not as difficult to get a student visa as it may sound. I’m friends with several students that have. The only recommendation I would give you is to apply for a visa well in advance…
Government offices in the United States have been notorious for taking two to three weeks longer than necessary to do simple processes like this.
Het allerbest! 
thanks, i’ll check it out. i didn’t know there existed student visa 
That’s true, and they’re easy to renew. Some of the Al Qaeda who blew up the World Trade Center got their student visas renewed a few months after it happened.
