Rotterdam - Best way to commute to EUR

Hi all!

I made the leap to WO University after a year of HBO and after weighing pros and cons, I decided that commuting to EUR from Breda would be worth it for at least the first year to put off finding housing ( I really dont want to find a room again ). I have tried to keep a realistic mindset that the door-to-door commute of 1 hour - 1.25 hour will definitely suck some days but I think its doable. I have friends / a job in Breda so I'm hoping the social strain of not living in my study city does not bother me much.

Main question: Obviously 9292/NS/Google maps simply suggests traveling to Rotterdam Centraal and then biking or taking the tram to campus. However, I can't help but think there are some alternative routes. Rotterdam Alexander has the metro station as well, and the biking path to campus seems more straightforward / enjoyable. It is irritating that from Breda I cannot get to any of the smaller city stations without going through Centraal. Maybe I already know the answer, but does anyone here commute to EUR and have a different, more enjoyable, way to get to campus?
