Luck of the Irish: Happy at TU Delft

Beckie O'Neill and Gemma Cromie are Erasmus exchange students from Queens University in Belfast, Northern Ireland. These two chemical engineering students are studying at Delft Chem Tech and are so far among very few students from Northern Ireland and the United Kingdom who have dared to cross the sea to study at TU Delft. Gemma Cromie (22) "I'm doing my MSc studies in chemical engineering here and must admit that I was worried when I first came to Holland.
