obs?

Anyway, i don't know anyone who left university before 25. it's pretty much standard to remain at uni for 6+ years in Holland and the 10th year student is a common sight, although now much less so than 20 years ago because the government decided to cut back student allowances. the state used to give you free money as a student indefinitely, now it's 3-4 years for a BA and 1-2 years for an MA so students tend to finish earlier.

You seem to be posting from the 1990's.
You do know there is no longer such a thing as a student allowance and they are all loans right? Even that "free" public transportation card is a loan. If you start your degree in the Netherlands today you can easily end up 20-30k in debt by the time you are done (unless you live at home or work a lot of hours).
