Moving from US to Rotterdam w/College-age Son

9 years ago

Possibly relocating for work (permanent relo, not on assignment) this coming June. I am a single mom with a 20 year old son who will need to be in an English-taught program.

He was in a very very difficult school here and struggled with grades so he is doing online classes this semester through community college to raise his GPA.

I know there are different options in the NL with research universities (I don't think his grades are high enough) and applied sciences schools, but I wonder how difficult the admissions process is. We will likely do our exploratory trip in April but he would need to be school in the Fall as I don't plan to have him living with me.

This may be too specific a question, but thought I would try and see if anyone has had a similar experience.

Thanks.
