The INTRO is the start of your student life. A week in which you will get to know your new school and fellow students. During this introduction week, Saxion organises fun activities and a lot of important information is shared. Here are eight reasons why you really shouldn't miss the Introduction Week.

1. Making new friends

The most important reason to go to Intro Week is to meet your fellow students. These are the people you will study with for the next four years and you might even make friendships for life.

2. Explore the school


During the Intro Week, you will already learn your way around campus. You learn in which buildings you often have classes and what facilities there are. This gives you a flying start to your studies and makes it easy to find the right room on the first day.

3. Discover your student city


Not only the building are important, but also the city you will be studying in. During Intro Week, activities are also organised in the centre of your upcoming student city. This way, you quickly find out what the best hotspots are for students: nice places to work, but also cosy cafés.

4. Discover your study association


During the INTRO, you get to know the study association belonging to your academy. This association has a place at school where you can meet. They often organise activities such as a study trip and much more. By joining a study association, you will always have people from your own course around you in different year groups. After the Introduction Week, you can decide to become a member of this.

5. Get to know student associations


Student associations consist of your fellow students. Student associations are separate, but no less fun for that. At a student association, you can meet students from different courses and even schools. This includes, for example, university students. During the Intro Week, you can easily get to know the different associations. You can decide if and which association you want to join. Joining a student association offers a great opportunity to explore your interests and develop new skills. You might discover a new sport or want to be on the board of such an association.

6. Parties and events

During Intro Week, activities are organised from your own study, but also collectively from Saxion. Like the well-known concerts. For this reason alone you will want to come to the Introduction Week!

7. Don't miss any information


It is not only for fun activities and new social contacts that it is important to come to Intro Week. A lot of valuable information is also shared during this week. Information about all kinds of important study-related matters. By attending this week, you won't miss any essential information.

8. Create lasting memories


The Introduction Week is a special period that you will always remember. It is a time of new experiences, personal growth and creating lasting memories. By participating, you lay the foundation for a successful and enjoyable study period.

 

Conclusion: The Intro Week offers new students an unforgettable start to their studies. By participating in this week full of activities and social interactions, you will make new friends, discover the school and city, not miss valuable information and create lasting memories. Don't miss this opportunity and start your studies in the best possible way!
