Study space shortages

Many students prefer to study at the university instead of at home. And if possible, in a place where many friends are also studying, with good facilities and quality coffee nearby. As a result, some places (the Library, Polak) are always crowded, while other places are nearly deserted. The university is constantly trying to create more study places, but the demand seems endless.

Hbo students no longer welcome

Thanks to a decision of the University Council, Hbo students, high school students, and others are no longer welcome at study spaces at Erasmus University. The access ban only applies during peak periods, when many students are studying for their exams. Opinions are divided as to whether the prohibition is effective or even desirable.

Expansions

The university is trying its very best to create more study spaces. There are now more study spaces than the norm that the university has set for itself: one place for every ten students. That adds up to around 3000 workplaces.
