In the latest episode of House Hunters International, we follow a young couple as they embark on an exciting new adventure: moving to Rotterdam, Netherlands to pursue their graduate studies together. With their combined scholarships, they have a modest budget but big dreams for their new home.
The episode begins with an introduction to the couple, Sarah and Sam. Originally from the United States, the two met as undergraduates and have been dating for several years. They both recently received scholarships to a prestigious university in Rotterdam, and decided to take the leap and move overseas together.
Their first challenge is finding a suitable place to live within their budget of 1,000 euros a month. They hope to find a one-bedroom apartment in or near the city center, with plenty of natural light and a functional kitchen. They also need a space to study and work from home, as they will be spending a lot of time on their graduate studies.
The first apartment they view is a charming one-bedroom in the city center. Although it is slightly over budget at 1,100 euros a month, they are immediately drawn to its high ceilings and large windows. The only downside is that there is no separate space for a home office.
The second apartment is located in a quieter neighborhood on the outskirts of the city. It is within their budget at 1,000 euros a month and has a separate room that they can use as a study. However, it is farther away from the university and lacks the charm of the first option.
The third and final apartment is a spacious two-bedroom in a trendy neighborhood near the university. It is within their budget at 950 euros a month and has a separate room that they can use as a study. However, they worry that it may be too big for their needs and could feel empty without a roommate.
Throughout the episode, we get to know Sarah and Sam as they weigh their options and navigate the challenges of apartment hunting in a foreign country. We see them exploring different neighborhoods, taking public transportation, and meeting with real estate agents.
In the end, they must make a tough decision and choose between the three apartments. Each option has its pros and cons, and they must weigh their priorities and decide what is most important to them. We are left in suspense until the final moments of the episode, when they reveal their decision and give us a tour of their new home.
Overall, Together on Scholarship is an inspiring and relatable episode that showcases the excitement and challenges of moving abroad for education. It is a must-watch for anyone considering a similar leap of faith.
