i've only looked at various aerial maps of the center

:D

Not been yet ET so i've only looked at various aerial maps of the center, and obviously will have a few questions.

1) Not really walkable easily, 10 mins on train

2) April has been nice, dunno about march

3) quite expensive

4) yes

2) the weather is crap, so pretty similar to the UK
3) i suppose it is only a bit cheaper than the UK with the currency only a few cents in the favor of the euro

pm me, i live there.

the eden seems pretty expensive/good, so i guess there will be a fridge.

its not that close to the center, as someone above me said you can travel there by train for a low price (from enschede drienerlo to enschede)
maybe you can also take a bus, i dont really know that.

btw i think the wzzrd/eden is closer to hengelo city center than to enschede city center.

just bring your own boozze for in and outside of the lancafé.. just don't drink it too obvious in the café cause they won't like that ^^

1) As crumbs said, walking it would take a long time. Google says around 45 minutes walk from the centre to the Eden.

2) Very variable - we've had awesome weather in April, but freezing weather with gale-force winds in February.

3) Fairly expensive, about the same as South East UK.

4) I think so, crumbs says yes so I'd believe him.

EDIT: In terms of shops, there is absolutely nothing anywhere near the LAN centre. There is a small cafe underneath Enschede D station, and a few restaurants in the Cinestar complex where WZZRD is based, but aside from that it's miles away from anywhere with any shops. The nearest shop is a petrol station a few minutes drive away, I think (it's on the way to the De Broeierd iirc, so quite convenient for people staying there). The whole area is a business park.

1) too far to walk

2) can be decent, but most likely loads of rain and not that warm

3) think it was like 5 euro for a "big" beer so quite expensive and uhm was like 5,50 for snacks etc they got some offers tho like a sandwich with a coffee

4) yes, its not that big but big enough to fit in enough chocolate desserts

Quite expensive there :{
I spent all my money on the DDR machine and just ate some skittles I brought over.

Just buy beer because it's cheap enough

last april it was warm

prices are ok....

just take enough money for beer

it can still be cold around that time. But with the global warming you never know what the weather will be like.

energy drinks can be bought at every local supermarket for ~30c

We can hug if you get cold.

1) Not really walkable easily, 10 mins on train

2) March is mostly ok, but make sure you got atleast a jacket with you.

3) quite expensive, but there is a small supermarket on the campus which is alot cheaper and only a 10 min walk from Eden.

4) yes, but it's realy small.

Don't get your hopes up about the city. It rly is one of the worst NL cities I've ever been to. And I'm not just trying to flame with that..

As for the lan center, prices are decent. Not overpriced for Dutch terms.

2) March...well it can be a bitch, but it can turn out nicely. Bring something warm anyways, last year March wasn't that appealing.

3) Expensive. Buy your stuff at the supermarket, unless you get offered a drink :D

1) Better don't walk. Its around 1h from Lan centre to train station.
2) Totally depends. It isn't that warm so better take something extra with you. I dunno that much about that since we were there in December (was damn cold)
3) Depends what.. imo prices are the same as in other bigger eu countries so not that cheap.
4) dunno, send them an email

Don't buy waffles in the airport anyway, they cost mega dollaro!

Find a crappy supermarket, I basically filled a trolley with stroopwaffles and beer the last time I was there!
