Stichting Kompas for Students

“we believe that transformation cannot happen without knowledge, education and understanding. going abroad, especially to study and as a young adult, is a big step for everyone. next to having financial, housing and educational support we believe that having a better understanding of what life offers you while abroad, especially in the netherlands, and being able to look after yourself are a few of the most important aspects of succeeding there. knowing where to go to buy the essentials, how to handle your money and living a healthy life are just a few of the elements that nearly all students struggle with on a daily basis. we are confident to say so, because fellow students and us have gone through these experiences ourselves, which is why kompas is made by students for students.” this project started after talking to many students who came to the netherlands from aruba in 2016. most students felt like they needed a better understanding of what life is really about in the netherlands,
