Leiden, the Netherlands, is located approximately 30 miles from Amsterdam by train. Leiden has the distinction of being the oldest university town in the Netherlands, which fosters an environment of shops, cafés, and cultural opportunities that serve the students who make up a large portion of the town's population. Leiden's many attractions and amenities are accessible by foot, but students often rent or purchase bicycles to make commuting through town quicker and more convenient. Next to walking, bicycling is the most popular form of transit.
The intimate campus, small class sizes, and the personal environment mean that it's easy to get to know most of your fellow students, as well as faculty and staff. Webster University Leiden fits well into this compact and intellectually rich community.
