This is where we live in Drenthe
Learning Dutch in Drenthe is a very social experience and it is mostly because of the living arrangements. The Dutch Summer School in Drenthe is located within a lovely holiday park called Timmerholt. The part is really big, but all the students live close to each other. There are three complexes, each containing 5 holiday apartments. Each of the apartments within each complex is converted into a classroom (so we have 3 classrooms in total) and the other apartments are occupied by students.
Each apartment consists of a living room with a basic but sufficient kitchen, bathroom with shower, one double room and two single rooms. So each apartment is a house to four students. Like it or not, you are always surrounded by like-minded people, who are determined to speak Dutch! The apartments are fairly basic, but at the same time, they have everything you need for those two weeks. The beds are comfortable and there is a plenty of space to sit and study. I share my house with three girl - they are from Mexico, Brazil, and Colombia - and I really like having them around, as we can keep each other motivated.
Each complex takes a shape of a letter C with tables and benches in front of it, which many people use for self-study (weather permitting of course)! The complexes are right next to each other, so we are all very close to each other, which means it's easy to make friends, exchange tips, and experiences or simply have a chat or make a barbecue.
This really is a perfect set up for learning a language.
