2 About the Location One hundred sixty-five canals give Amsterdam its unique charm. The Dutch capital is full of life, day and night, with world-renowned museums, art galleries, music clubs and theaters. It is a truly international and multicultural city; with 180 different nationalities represented, Amsterdam boasts one of the most diverse populations in the world. Amsterdammers are easy-going and welcoming to foreigners, and English is the unofficial second language. With over 830,000 inhabitants, Amsterdam offers the advantages of a cosmopolitan center with a small-town feel. Because the city is so compact, bicycles are the most convenient means of transportation; in fact, bicycles outnumber the people in Amsterdam! Resident Staff As the Resident Director, Renée Spruit is responsible for the overall management and development within the CIEE Amsterdam Study Center. Renée earned a bachelor degree in Communications and international master s degree in Sociology (with a special focus on migration and ethnic studies). During her studies she spent a semester at Seneca College in Toronto, Canada and wrote her bachelor thesis during an internship in Cape Town, South Africa. Although she calls Amsterdam her home, she loves being in an international environment, learning new things, and meeting people from all around the world. She truly believes it s a fascinating process how study abroad changes students in such positive ways.
