I would like to move to Utrecht and do street performing on the side. Am I able to just pick up my guitar and go, or do I need a license or anything like that? Thanks! Danke vel!

I go to one of the UC's in California and am planning on studying abroad Fall 2012 in either Denmark or the Netherlands. I will be a Junior and am a psychology major. I don't know what classes will be offered in the Fall yet, but the universities in both the Netherlands and Denmark offered psychology classes in the past that were taught in English. I also will most likely be able to take GE's while I'm abroad, so transferring credits shouldn't be much of a problem. If I go to the Netherlands it would be Utrecht University. If I go to Denmark it would be University of Copenhagen. I also want to travel while I'm there, so I feel like the Netherlands might be more convenient in location for traveling. I feel like in either country I would have a great experience, but would also like to know which country may be more open minded toward Americans and where I would fit in better. Thank you so much!

i'm considering going to school in one of these cities. how is the nightlife? how expensive is it? loved to hear your opinions!! thanks.

Hi, I (and my whole class) will be moving to Utrecht for a semester in September. So I have a few questions.. - We have to fly into Amsterdam, what is the best way to get from there to Utrecht and how much will it cost? Are train and taxi the only options? - What is there to do in Utrecht, apart from museums and Dom Tower? - What is the public transport there like? - None of us speak any Dutch. Are there any phrases we NEED to know? If so could you try to explain how to pronounce them? - What sort of prices should we expect to be paying? rent, bills, food, going out? - What is the nightlife like? - What sort of weather should we expect? - Any other information we need to know? Thanks in advance! :)
