To interest potential new international students, Hanze is commissioning a group of film students to document Claire’s first few months at the university (and in the city). Over the course of a six episode run, Claire overcomes the hurdles of dealing with her new life, each episode focusing on a different aspect of the challenges of student living, such as: Moving in, Passing a Class, Getting a Job, Exploreing the City, and many more along the way. Overcoming homesickness and initial loneliness, Claire eventually grows to love the experience more and more with every passing day.
