Hi, I am thinking of studying in Eindhoven, there is a master's degree I really like. I have been interested in the Netherlands for quite some time since urbanists think really highly of the country. I got the news of the far-right winning the first round of the elections and that got me concerned.

I would like to know how local leftists view the change, abject terror? or "whatever" we got a robust system they won't be able to do much harm?

Eindhoven is already a really expensive place to live. The current housing issue will not be solved quickly, no matter what party leads. It is also pretty internationally oriented with the University and a couple large tech firms (most notably ASML). The international students/workers that I know in the area were happy with it.

The elections won't change that landscape that quickly. Cities also tend to lean more to the left in general.
