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…Gepubliceerd op:Special -
#Metoo at university

And even if incidents don’t…Gepubliceerd op:Special -

This was 2018
Civil rights emerged (somewhat) victorious over unbridled technological optimism. Society revolted against ridiculously expensive medications. The crypto hype changed into crypto disillusionment. And it was also the year in which cross-border collaboration came under the gun. We also interviewed seven researchers and students. They all stood out, all for different reasons. One of…Gepubliceerd op:Special -

How do you survive…
Ahhh…the student life! For most, it’s the first glimpse of freedom and what adult life may feel like.
