PHILIPSBURG--Representative of HAN HUNTU Denica Daniel held an information session for potential students at University of St. Martin (USM) on Thursday, July 20.
HAN HUNTU is an organisation started for Dutch Caribbean students interested in pursuing their studies at the University of Applied Sciences of Arnhem and Nijmegen (Hogeschool Arnhem en Nijmegen (HAN)) in the Netherlands.
The information session was facilitated by the local chapter of Unified St. Maarten Connection and USM.
During the information session Daniel provided an overview of the support HAN HUNTU offers to students and answered questions about registering at the respected municipality (gemeente) upon arrival, opening a bank account and securing insurance. This information was “extremely valuable” for “free mover” students, who do not have the support of the Department of Study Financing to assist them in regulating these issues, it was stated in a press release.
