Every Monday, I AM<\/em> puts another fashionable campus inhabitant in the spotlight. This time: Saskia Choffel (21). She\u2019s an International Management (CEMS) student.<\/p>\n

Style. <\/strong>\u201cWhen I\u2019m not wearing this Polar Bear suit I like to wear vintage clothing. I like\u00a0wearing things that are a bit different and stand out. I\u2019m still young so I take advantage of that, little details can be fun as well. I also like to change styles often. I can wear one style on Monday and something completely different on Tuesday, as long as it reflects who I am.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sustainability days. <\/strong>\u201cI\u2019m wearing this suit to promote the sustainability days which will be held on campus from March 22nd<\/sup> until March 24th<\/sup>. Compared to other business events on campus only a small group of people shows up to our events. People often associate sustainability with hiking and eating quinoa and don\u2019t see the big impact it can make.\u201d<\/p>\n

Daily Life. \u201c<\/strong>In my daily life I try to be as \u00a0sustainable as possible. I cut down on heating and gas and light as much as possible. I also only buy cosmetics that are vegan; so no products from an animal source or products that are tested on animals. I try to be sustainable when buying clothes as well, but it can be hard especially as a student. Even some more premium brands than for example Primark are not very sustainable.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Netherlands. <\/strong>\u201cThe Netherlands is very different from France, where I am from. It is more \u2018chill\u2019 here and people are more open. It is also so nice that you can bike everywhere, this would never be possible in Paris for example. I think the party scene in Rotterdam is also better, there are some good underground parties and the \u2018vibe\u2019 is nice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t
