A fun and very effective way to meet other students is through a study association or student association. At a student association you meet students from all kinds of studies. Social activities can be meeting each other for drinks, but also practicing sports together, such as rowing (read more about student sports clubs). A study association is especially for students of a specific study – check with study program whether and which study associations are active.
