This is due to a number of factors. It\u2019s a nasty cocktail of the growing pressure to perform in education, mounting student debt after the cancellation of the base grant, the constant demands made on students by their mobile phones, social media posts that have been buffed to a sheen and a dizzying array of options for students to deepen and broaden their knowledge and stand out from the crowd.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1131\" src=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/10\/31112434\/Wieneke-hoofdredactioneel-commentaar-Geertje-van-Achterberg-1600x1131.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139189\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-105102\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/10\/31112434\/Wieneke-hoofdredactioneel-commentaar-Geertje-van-Achterberg-1600x1131.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139189 1600w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/10\/31112434\/Wieneke-hoofdredactioneel-commentaar-Geertje-van-Achterberg-300x212.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139189 300w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/10\/31112434\/Wieneke-hoofdredactioneel-commentaar-Geertje-van-Achterberg-875x619.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139189 875w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/10\/31112434\/Wieneke-hoofdredactioneel-commentaar-Geertje-van-Achterberg-1280x905.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139189 1280w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/10\/31112434\/Wieneke-hoofdredactioneel-commentaar-Geertje-van-Achterberg-150x106.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139189 150w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/10\/31112434\/Wieneke-hoofdredactioneel-commentaar-Geertje-van-Achterberg-225x159.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139189 225w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/10\/31112434\/Wieneke-hoofdredactioneel-commentaar-Geertje-van-Achterberg.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1766139189 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><p data-component=\"image-credits\" class=\"flex flex-wrap gap-2 items-center text-base\">\n\t<span aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<path d=\"M19.5 5.25H16.9012L15.6234 3.33375C15.555 3.23114 15.4623 3.147 15.3535 3.08879C15.2448 3.03057 15.1233 3.00007 15 3H9C8.87665 3.00007 8.75522 3.03057 8.64648 3.08879C8.53773 3.147 8.44502 3.23114 8.37656 3.33375L7.09781 5.25H4.5C3.90326 5.25 3.33097 5.48705 2.90901 5.90901C2.48705 6.33097 2.25 6.90326 2.25 7.5V18C2.25 18.5967 2.48705 19.169 2.90901 19.591C3.33097 20.0129 3.90326 20.25 4.5 20.25H19.5C20.0967 20.25 20.669 20.0129 21.091 19.591C21.5129 19.169 21.75 18.5967 21.75 18V7.5C21.75 6.90326 21.5129 6.33097 21.091 5.90901C20.669 5.48705 20.0967 5.25 19.5 5.25ZM15.375 12.375C15.375 13.0425 15.1771 13.695 14.8062 14.25C14.4354 14.8051 13.9083 15.2376 13.2916 15.4931C12.6749 15.7485 11.9963 15.8154 11.3416 15.6852C10.6869 15.5549 10.0855 15.2335 9.61351 14.7615C9.14151 14.2895 8.82007 13.6881 8.68985 13.0334C8.55962 12.3787 8.62646 11.7001 8.88191 11.0834C9.13735 10.4667 9.56993 9.93964 10.125 9.56879C10.68 9.19794 11.3325 9 12 9C12.8951 9 13.7535 9.35558 14.3865 9.98851C15.0194 10.6214 15.375 11.4799 15.375 12.375Z\" fill=\"currentColor\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n<\/span>\n\t<span class=\"sr-only\">Image by:<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t<span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/persons\/geertje-van-achterberg\/\" class=\"underline hocus:no-underline decoration-1 underline-offset-2\">Geertje van Achterberg<\/a>\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Read more<\/h2><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/2019\/02\/19\/big-increase-in-number-of-study-places-campus-woudestein\/\">Big increase in number of study places campus Woudestein<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/2019\/10\/28\/new-living-room-offers-first-aid-for-stressed-out-students\/\">New living room offers \u2018first aid\u2019 for stressed-out students<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/2019\/04\/17\/new-bee-colony-and-campus-garden-almost-ready-for-arrival-of-honey-bees\/\">New bee colony and campus garden almost ready for arrival of honey bees<\/a><\/li><\/ul><p>Everything\u2019s allowed, everything\u2019s possible and as a result, everything becomes one big FOMO. Leaving the university with a bunch of stressed-out students. But what\u2019s the solution?<\/p>\n<p>Erasmus University is investing in more care and attention to student welfare. It is turning study areas into living rooms with Chinese money plants along the windowsill. It has set up table football tables, organised constructive talks and has appointed extra psychologists. The university is paying attention to diversity in its various guises and involving the student body in all manner of initiatives. Students are even offered money to organise their own events.<\/p>\n<p>Would you like bees on campus? Let\u2019s get us a beehive then! Need more study areas so you don\u2019t have to study at home?

And which message are you sending to students if you start involving yourself as an institution in their personal development?<\/p>\n<p>Because it makes me a bit sad to hear how students register for some project bubbling with enthusiasm and ideas, but don\u2019t even show up the next time or fail to maintain their initial commitment (and don\u2019t even have the decency to tell the others they won\u2019t be coming anymore). Venues booked for some great performance remain half empty, and lunches ordered from the caterer\u2019s are thrown away uneaten.<\/p>\n\n\t<div data-name=\"acf\/quote\" class=\"align\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"\">\n\t\t\t<figure data-component=\"quote-with-author\" class=\"@container\">\n\t<blockquote class=\"text-md italic @2xl:text-xl @4xl:text-2xl text-purple\">\n\t\tYour finest memories and experiences are usually made after paying your dues.\n\t<\/blockquote>\n\n\t<\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<p>Although I get it too. There\u2019s so much to do, and it only takes a mouse click to get things done: register for some fascinating lecture (because you\u2019re interested in absolutely everything), participate in a workshop about sustainability (because after all, our generation will need to sort this thing out), arrange a new bike because the old one has a flat tyre (and I definitely don\u2019t have the time to fix it \u2013 I need to go to a lecture\/workshop) or order food rather than cook yourself (what\u2019s that peel actually for?). It couldn\u2019t be easier.<\/p>\n<p>But if everything\u2019s a cinch, where\u2019s the connection with what you\u2019re doing? As far as student welfare is concerned, I hope the university keeps the following in mind: your finest memories and experiences are usually made after paying your dues.<\/p>\n<p>In the words of
