Amazing place and kind of a futuristic city!! Public transportation is also great, especially the subway.

Cons of Living in Groningen
Too expensive Not much to do Cold now Gets cold in the winter Very damp now Not many Nomad List members go here Very difficult to make friends Many people smoke tobacco -
Great place to live. Not sure why 'Fun' and 'Nightlife' are classified as 'Okay' - it's actually great better than Amsterdam in my opinion. 60k students on a population of 200k. Dozens of bars and clubs in the same area, drinks are cheap, bars don't close until 4-6am. Expenses are lower than listed too.

Groningen is easy going but very international. Due to it's kind of "remote" location (well Amsterdam is only 2 hrs. away) it's an island one its own with lots to do here: culture, nightlife (véry late!) but also a lot of beautiful quiet nature in the surroundings, You take a bike and you are in the middle of nowhere in just 15 minutes: lakes, woods in the south, or at the northside of the city: beautiful endless tyoical dutch landscapes with lots of famous black and white frisian cows, mills, canals, and even a real river, Reitdiep.
