I got rejected (and then admitted) to Dutch Higher Education

American expat living in Amstelveen, Netherlands. Mother to one sweet baby boy. Registered Nurse, passionate about climate change and health disparities. My spouse, who is a Dutch citizen, convinced me to move here after a devastating wildfire season in California. My husband has always spoken of a magical childhood growing up here and we wanted to give our son the same. Karen: A middle aged woman, typically blonde, who wants to speak to the manager.
