When I had to make a study choice in 2021, I wanted to get as far away from my parents as possible. After taking a good look around, the University of Twente finally won me over because of the pleasant atmosphere on campus and the project-oriented education. In the end, it's only a 20-minute drive to my parents and I love that now.
During the Kick-In I let everything come to me and enjoyed all the organized activities to the fullest. For me, the choice was quickly made: I decided to become a member of Audentis, which has already left me with great memories. For example, through Audentis I found my student house, called BROK. Also, through Audentis, I have a group of friends with whom I meet every Tuesday. I also got to organize the Dies with a fantastic committee, a week full of activities in honor of the 42nd anniversary of the association.
In my second year, I also found an independent dispute: the College Cnødde. Together with my feternity, we organise all kinds of fun activities for the entire student population, such as the “Road to Enschede ft. Cnødde” during Kick-In and once every 2.5 years, the Cnødde Gala Ball.
Besides finishing my bachelor, I did a board year at Integrand in my third year. Where I was allowed to bridge the gap between student life and business. Now I am really looking forward to putting my studies on hold and starting a board year at the Student Union as portfolio holder Sport and Culture. I am incredibly excited to get involved in the organisation and contribute to sports and cultural activities on campus. I think it will be great to work with enthusiastic fellow students and gain new experiences that will be both personally and professionally enriching.
