Dutch student with smelly feet wins right to study

A philosophy student with smelly feet has won the right to attend lectures at a Dutch university after a 10-year legal battle.

Teunis Tenbrook was thrown out from the Erasmus University in Rotterdam after complaints from professors and other students that it was impossible to study with the smell from his feet.

But now, after a lengthy legal battle, a court has ruled that having smelly feet is no excuse to ban a student from a university. The judge said: "Our considered opinion is that the professors and other students will just have to hold their noses and bear it."

Tenbrook told the court: "Although I could no longer attend lectures I tried to carry on by studying in the library, but then I was banned from the library as well."

The university will have one advantage from the ruling - dozens of books that the student had been unable to return because of the ban can now be handed back.

But now the university has announced instead of banning students with smelly feet they are planning to issue fines to tackle such problems.

I asked for an essay to take home. For personal reasons I could not sit down to write it right now. Quickly hit the search for sites that provide essay writing services. My eye fell on essaypro service. I registered, left an order and I was immediately contacted by the staff of this service. Everything went very quickly. The order was ready in an hour. I liked the service, everything was of high quality and most importantly for me it was very inexpensive. All in all I was satisfied, I will use this website many times in the future.

I want to begin with a wide variety of resources for writing and oooh really nice design. You don't have to search for something else when you come here. edubirdie reviews have five minutes to place an order in five minutes, two hours to get the result. Everything IS MUST Easy. I've been the best in the community, even though I don't understand something, thanks to these authors) you can emphasize the drawbacks but can do that. I can honestly suggest this site, since I am a fan of consistency and smooth work;)
