  Leiden is a small town, so all university buildings are within walking or cycling distance. Due to the safe environment and the individual approach, students tend to feel at home fairly quickly. The surroundings of Leiden offer a wide range of recreational possibilities. The North Sea with its scenic beaches and dunes is eight miles to the west of Leiden. Behind the dunes are holiday resorts which bustle with life during the summer. To the northeast of Leiden are large lakes, which are excellent for sailing, windsurfing, rowing and, sometimes, when it is cold enough, for ice-skating.
