Groningen has many great facilities to offer to international students besides the University of Groningen and the Hanze University of Applied Science.

There is only one organization that will truly help you to get to know all the good things this city has to offer: ESN Groningen! ESN is a foundation that organizes social and cultural activities for international students. A board and eight committees work very hard to give you the best time in Groningen! Among others, we organize excursions, integration activities, theme parties, International Dinners, a PubQuiz, the Intercambio-program, an International Week, and a Business Congress. 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.

Sign-up for the Introduction Week will take place on Wednesday the first of September at the Welcoming Ceremony of the University and Thursday the second of September. Come to the Academy building, signs will indicate clearly where you have to go! ESN staff is present all afternoon.

We hope to see you at the Harmony building on Wednesday the first and wish you a great stay in Groningen!

With kind regards

The ESN Groningen board 2009//2010 & 2010//2011
