5 Reasons Why You Should Become Active At The Groningen Students’ Union

It is always gezellig (a typical Dutch expression for a fun and social atmosphere). At the GSb you get the chance to meet other active and motivated students from a variety of studies. While some of our committees are Dutch-speaking, for instance, our Housing Team is open to ‘Internationals’, which creates a multicultural work experience. The GSb offers great opportunities to make meet people and make new friends, as we organize monthly drinks and other activities such as pub quizzes or trips abroad.  

While your study might prepare you well for your future when it comes to academic skills such as planning, working with a diverse team, and leading a group are often acquired via ‘learning by doing’. Our numerous workgroups and committees are a great chance to practice these as any of our current or past active members would confirm.

The Groningen Students’ Union has a rich history. Since 1971 students have been active, investing their spare time and effort for the interests and needs of students in Groningen. This is a legacy we are proud of and plan to continue, into the future. By joining one of our workgroups or committees you will become part of this and can make your voice heard for the rights and interests of students.
