When I moved from nearby Oldenzaal to Enschede, a whole new world opened up for me. I had no idea what a student world existed right under my nose all those years. I quickly let myself be completely absorbed in it and I see that as one of my best choices so far.
I went to live in an active student house, joined Audentis, found a dispute, and decided to do a full-time committee. In a flash, my first year was over and I could barely realize what I had learned and experienced. Because I wasn’t quite done with it yet, I enjoyed a board year at Audentis last year. Looking back on all the beautiful memories, experiences, and my development, I can advise everyone to pick something up next to their studies.
Of course, we all came to the University of Twente to complete a degree, but your student days are also the perfect time to develop yourself in so many other areas. You have been given this wonderful opportunity, a shame to pass it up! Through the University Council, I will ensure that the University of Twente does not lose sight of the importance of this development and hopefully lets students leave with more than just a diploma.
