With around 250,000 residents, Eindhoven is the fifth-largest city in the Netherlands and home to roughly 30,000 students across Eindhoven University of Technology, Fontys and the Design Academy. The former Philips industrial site Strijp-S has grown into a creative quarter, while the Stratumseind, the country's longest nightlife street, forms the centre of student night life.
