This project addresses the challenges faced by students living alone in Delft, specifically their lack of experience in cooking, household planning, and understanding local markets. As many students are unprepared for day-to-day living, we present a comprehensive survival guide that includes maps to supermarkets, translations of food items, and essential cooking tips. Our group work reflection highlights both the positives of teamwork and cultural exchange, as well as the challenges faced. We aim to equip students with the knowledge and skills required to thrive independently.
