## About

Velp is a quiet rural town in the eastern Netherlands near Arnhem, surrounded by green space and farmland. This is not a bustling city — it's a calm, nature-focused environment suitable for students seeking a slower pace. The region is affordable, and the proximity to forests and agricultural areas makes sense for students studying agriculture and environmental sciences.
