The university is full of nice spots that are under the radar for a lot of students. EM can be like an older brother \u2013 telling you the go-to places for cheap grub, easy pick-ups or well-earned relaxation.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>
  1. Cleanest toilets\u00a0<\/strong>Always good to know: which toilets are clean and pleasant? From a quick survey on campus, the small rooms around the Aula scored highly. \u2018 You can do a half-hour poo in there without anyone noticing,\u2019 said one student.<\/li>
  2. Search for hidden canteens<\/strong> Something the average Rotterdam student generally discovers too late: the campus has various canteens. So you don\u2019t have to have lunch at the foodcourt, it\u2019s just as easy and cheaper to eat at Etude in Tinbergen or The Company in Mandeville. And something else that\u2019s good to know: lunches, snacks and dinners are
    \ncheap and tasty in the sport centre canteen. Everyone\u2019s welcome, whether you\u2019ve worked out or not.<\/li>
  3. Feeling horny?<\/strong> The G Building has loads of small student rooms. You\u2019ll not be the first to go in, shove the table against the door and do the business. Rotterdam skyline lovers can try the eighteenth floor of the Mandeville building where there are similar booths.<\/li>
  4. Be decadent <\/strong>The Faculty Club is located on the seventeenth floor of Tinbergen; a collection of rooms including a restaurant and a fantastic view. Regular events are held in the restaurant and nobody notices penniless students quickly grabbing that free coffee or beer and bitterbal if dressed appropriately.<\/li>
  5. Save cash<\/strong> Thirsty but broke? Well, don\u2019t buy your beer at the expensive Erasmus Paviljoen, but save cash at the Spar. It\u2019s not really allowed to drink on the grass in
    \nfront of the Paviljoen, but is great fun.<\/li>
  6. Pizza with beer<\/strong> Woudestein has a campus bar, In de Smitse. Loads of students drink beer there on a Friday afternoon. But don\u2019t forget that you can eat there too. Restaurants actually view the caf\u00e9 as an official delivery address. So order that pizza and get it delivered to this hotspot.<\/li>
  7. Refuel <\/strong>Did you seriously overdo it last night in the pub? Or would you like to temporarily forget that deadline that has been breathing down your neck for weeks? How about kicking back at Park Noord, the campus\u2019s new \u2018green oasis\u2019. Not that many students have picked up on this place yet, so grab your chance while it\u2019s still quiet.<\/li>
  8. Take a break <\/strong>You no longer have to leave the library to get some fresh air or tap into new sources of motivation. Because since the recent renovation, the island in the library pond is actually open to the public. It\u2019s perfect for taking a break from all that studying (or all those good intentions at any rate).<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\t
