It's nice to live in this neighbourhood because there is a very large student complex. It can be a bit noisy at times and the rubbish is not put away neatly. Furthermore, in spring we have a huge problem with the seagulls that live on our roofs. There are also hardly any facilities in the area in terms of shops. But it is easily accessible and close to the university. Also, it's super cosy to live with so many students and having a lot of nature in the surroundings is a luxury too.
Auto-translated to English by AIReally a nice neighbourhood, but no amenities such as supermarket, pharmacy, GP, chemist, café, etc.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is often dirty. We have too few containers for the number of students living here, which means there is often rubbish on the square. Furthermore, there are regular parties and drunk students at night, earplugs are recommended. There is also no cheap supermarket in the area, and as a student that is very annoying. But it is a very cosy neighbourhood and a very nice experience in my life. Super cosy. Lots of greenery and the surroundings are super quiet because hardly anyone lives in Rijnsweerd.
