A Few Facts about Arnhem

I wanted to look up some facts about Arnhem cause I've been getting lots of questions :)

Arnhem is one of the larger cities in the Netherlands with about 146,095 residents (June 2009). It is in the eastern part, and I am a one hour train ride away from Amsterdam. I am seven hours ahead of Wisconsin's time zone. In August hi/low temp is 53 and 72 degrees F.

My school is called - HAN University of Applied Sciences (Hogeschool van Arnhem en Nijmegen in Dutch), often abbreviated as HAN, with campuses in Arnhem and Nijmegen in The Netherlands. I am obviously in Arnhem, at the Business School. Is extrememly new only like 10 years old or something like that, as I have heard. The business building is very new and modern. The Arnhem Business School classes are taught in English with over 600 students from over 20 countries.

Amsterdam is the biggest city in North Holland and Rotterdam is the second biggest city in South Holland. The Netherlands has an estimated population of 16,491,852 (as of March 2009).
