We stayed at a hostel for about $20 a night. It was late when we arrived and could barely find any beds available. So book earlier if you can, whether its a hostel or hotel. We visited the Anne Frank Museum, the Van Gogh Museum, if your into kinky stuff there are plenty of sex shows, the sex museum, coffee shops (weed), walking thru the red light district. We also took a boat ride thru the canal, it stops at several places that have interesting things to see. We also went to a flea market where you can find a bunch of interesting things.

Justme had some good answers. I would also suggest going to the Rijksmuseum, as they have all the Dutch masters in there, including Vermeer and Rembrandt. Also, if you want to go to an awesome restaurant, go to Kantjil en de Tijger, which has AWESOME Indonesian food. Its on Spuistraat 291. Order the Rijsttafel and wash it down with some Hoegaarden beer.

Amsterdam is very expensive. So look for some place like YMCA on the Internet.

The cheapest place is probably the Bostel in the Amsterdam Bos: their 5-bed mixed dorm is 10 euros a night. You're not in the centre of Amsterdam, but there is a bus which takes about 25 minutes. http://www.hostelamsterdam.com/index.php Now, how much money do you need: depends on what you want to do and whether you have one of those youthcards EYC, and what age you are. Museums cost between 5-10 euros, but let you in free in some cases, if you're under 18. Food - there is plenty of fast food and restaurants everywhere, but if you want something with local flavour, try neighbourhoods like the Jordaan. transport - rent a bike, or if you're coming by train, bring your own. definitely a good way to get around. the museum boat is good too because it stops at the tourist hotspots. And to see where to eat, what's on while you're there, check out: http://www.amsterdamhotspots.nl/ Finally, what you MUST visit: a couple of museums, a local market, the Heineken museum, a brown cafe, neigbourhoods like the Rivierenbuurt etc. Enjoy.

For best options wat u can do is go to a VVV travel information centre which is just near to amsterdam central station. they will provide u with all the details as well as information on hotels. Since u r a student i think one of the cheaper options to explore is to ask for youth hostel accomodations. There are many economical options available like day tickets for trams so that in one ticket u can hop on and off from any tram. The VVV travel info desk will help u to plan ur trip. Also buy a map kit as it has some worthy discount coupans (one kit offers discounts for 3-4 persons) so u can very well recover the cost of map as well as have healthy info with u to plan for urself. Also they sell tickets there so that u dont have to stand in queues at places like annie frank and the extra charge is 50 cents, but u can save time in queues

Vondelpark is nice just watch yourself go in the daylight hours to be safer. They don't call it needle park for nothing. Canal rides are definatley a must to do. The Anne Frank museum is nice too. I think they have like an all day pass for I forget how much and you can basically visit all the museums. Lots of WW2 stuff if your a history buff. Coffeeshop (not cafes) should definatly be on your list if thats your thing. Greenhouse has the best quality and selection. Try some baked goodies too, or the "smart" shops if thats your bag. Too much too see in two days. Amsterdam is a month long experience. I mean it takes two weeks just to get acclimated to the time zone/climate change. Happy travels
