EXPLORING THE UNIVERSITY

ARRIVAL DAY

STUDYING ABROAD IS EASY – THAT IS, ONCE YOU’VE SAFELY ARRIVED, SETTLED INTO YOUR ROOM OR APARTMENT, MET SOME PEOPLE, EXPLORED THE CAMPUS AND THE CITY, AND GENERALLY FOUND YOUR BEARINGS. BUT BETWEEN LEAVING HOME AND REACHING THAT STATE OF CONTROL, YOU HAVE A LOT OF HURDLES TO TAKE. HERE’S SOME HELP.

DOWNLOAD THE CAMPUS APP

Before arriving, we advise you to download our Campus App. It is a great tool for exploring the campus, finding information on buildings, opening hours, services and other points of interest. It also contains your student time table.

CHECK THE TRAVEL GUIDE ON HOW TO GET HERE

Trying to figure out how to get from Amsterdam to Enschede? How to buy a Dutch train ticket? How to get from Enschede train station to the UT campus? Erasmus Student Network Twente (ESN Twente) and the UT Kick-In Committee explain it all in detail – with pictures – in the ESN Twente Travel Guide.

READ UP ON AIRPORT PICK-UP SERVICE

Our website offers good information for new arrivals, too, including travel instructions and details on airport pick-up services. Check these Student Services pages.

BOOKS, SCHEDULE, INTRODUCTION: JOIN OUR KICK-IN EVENT

Before or after checking in at the university, you will want to find your living quarters, meet flat mates and fellow students, and get settled in. The best way to do that is by joining the Kick-In, our introduction period. It starts on 25 August, 2019. During the Kick-In, our teams will be on hand to help you get your study books and schedule, and to arrange all kinds of formalities. Be there!

REGISTER ONLINE WITH OUR CAMPUS DOCTOR

As soon as you can, make sure you register with our campus doctor. Your insurance requires you to do this if you come to live in the Netherlands. Don’t forget!

YOUR OWN MOBILE PHONE

Will you be able to use your mobile phone in the Netherlands? Find out before you get here, for example on Expatica.com.
