@phdthesis{theses_frw507, title = {International students and Dutch urban heritage}, year = {2012}, author = {B. Booij}, url = {https://frw.studenttheses.ub.rug.nl/507/}, abstract = {The research for this thesis shows that international students value the aesthetic aspects of heritage a lot, although heritage is not a big part of daily activities. Most students feel at home in a historic environment. This thesis suggests that the way international students chose their foreign University is similar to the destination choice tourists make. The image they have of their destination is therefore very important in the decision making process. It also appears that the aspects students attribute to Groningen and its University are comparable to the image the University tries to create.} }
