Before the exchange, I’ve already transferred money to the sch, as a proof that I’ve sufficient money for living expenses throughout my entire stay in Delft. Can you imagine how much money that is. By right, they shld subsequently open a Dutch bank account for me when I arrive here, and then transfer all that money into the bank. Yes, they did open the account, but didn’t transfer the money! for 1 whole mth I had to live on the cash that I brought. The school (or in general, the culture here) is ridiculously slow in handling all these admin matters. I kept bugging the sch for my money but just didn’t get it. To make matters worse, all payment made in sch is through this Chipknip (sth like cash card), so I cant pay by cash at all. And to top up this chip card, I can only transfer money into it from a Dutch bank acct (which has currently no money). So I basically cant buy anything from sch.
I was about to blow today (cos I haven’t been able to get my course material for an exam coming up in less than a mth), till I checked my account and saw that they’ve finally put the money in. Really felt like killing the sch.
