Exam Period
“It is Sunday morning, 10 o’clock. Streets are deserted and the city experiences a silence like rarely on other moments. No one seems to be up yet when you cycle alone with your bike through the abandoned streets. Then you turn to the Broerstraat and it seems as if the whole student population has been gathered for a party, and as if it is the only street with life”. If that happens to you, you can be sure of one thing: You haven’t missed the greatest event of the year, no, its Exam period, and students are fighting to get a spot in the university library. The exam period takes place four times a year and even students who like to procrastinate, can’t escape. Its those times of the year, where books and articles need to be explored, and you complain about teachers wanting you to study hard, even though you would prefer going out and chilling with your friends.

And let’s not forget our International Student Night, every Monday night! More information about the activities and a calendar can be found on our website; www.esn-groningen.nl.
The first activity you cannot miss out is the Introduction Week. During this week, you will meet your friends for the coming semester! We have organized various activities like a workshop afternoon, dinners, a pub crawl, theme parties, movie night, karaoke, salsa dancing and a sport day. All this for only €25,- (plus €2,- for the ESN card).
The Introduction week will take place from Friday evening the 3th of September untill Wednesday the 8th of September. On the next page, you will find an indication of the program. On Monday till Wednesday, we only have an evening program, so there will be no conflict with your classes during the day.
