A neurophysicist from Michigan, Nicolette has landed her dream job at Leiden University in the Netherlands. She wants an apartment in Leiden's city center, but rentals in this university town are in high demand and appeal more to students. Nicolette's colleague recommends that she look outside of Leiden for a more adult apartment, but Nicolette will have to decide if she's willing to sacrifice her social life for an upgraded apartment away from the action in Leiden.
