Questions for current/past students at Codarts (Pop Vocals) and ArtEZ (Pop & Jazz Vocals)? How were the auditions?

Help

Hi everyone! I am currently preparing to apply for Bachelor's programs in music in the Netherlands, and I am looking for some insights from current students or alumni. Specifically, I am looking at Codarts in Rotterdam for Pop Vocals and ArtEZ for Pop and Jazz Vocals.
If you are currently enrolled, have recently graduated, or went through the admission process, I would love to hear about your experience. I am really curious about how the entrance exams and auditions went, what the practical singing parts looked like, and how tough the theory and motivation sections actually were. I would also appreciate your honest impressions of the programs, the vocal coaches, the overall atmosphere, and how manageable the workload is when balancing intense practical training with theoretical classes.
Any tips, behind-the-scenes details, or advice on how to stand out during the auditions would be incredibly appreciated. Thank you so much in advance!
