Here are the dates my university is closed in April and May this year:
April 6 (Good Friday)
April 9 (Easter Monday)
April 30 (Queen's Day)
May 1 ( Labour Day)
May 5 (Liberation Day)
May 17 (Ascension Day)
May 18 (Ascension Day bonus)
May 28 (Whit Monday)
I call this the Dutch pre-summer holiday season. Even though the Dutch are rather non-religious, they still love their Christian holidays. So if you are - or will be - in NL this spring season, be prepared to join the Dutch in skipping work (unless you're a student), relaxing, and contemplating the deeper meaning of what these holidays might mean to them.

Hi, I've been reading this blog for a while, and well, have this question that maybe you could answer!
I'm looking for places to study a master, but I don't speak dutch and a dutch guy I once met told me it was a pretty hard language... so are there any universities with courses taught in english??
