Stories from our members

Hi, everyone! My name is Geri, and I am a computer science student at the TU/e. I’ve decided to join AEGEE-Eindhoven because of the memorable After Intro activities. Some of them included a barbecue with the other members, a multi-course European dinner, and a European night where different countries were presented by traditional snacks and drinks. Also, I’ve had a blast during the Brussels exchange in the beginning of my first year. This was the time when I got to know the other members, and I really enjoyed their company, since they were extremely friendly, open-minded and funny. I even became part of the Intro Committee which is responsible for the representation of AEGEE-Eindhoven during the TU/e Intro week. This way I will be able to show my passion about our association to the new students. If you’re looking for making connections with some awesome people then AEGEE-Eindhoven is the right place for you!

Hey everyone! I’m Denis and I’m a Computer Science student at the TU/e. I joined AEGEE at the start of my master, which was last September. It was the first week of the academic year and I stumbled upon a Facebook event organized by AEGEE. Even though I knew nothing about AEGEE back then, I decided to subscribe to the event.
I was impressed by how friendly everyone I talked to was such that I ended that event by filling in the registration form.
I know that AEGEE events were limited because of the pandemic this past year (still waiting for a traveling abroad event), but nonetheless being a member was worth it!
If you’re thinking of joining AEGEE-Eindhoven, then stop thinking and just become a member!
Hope to see you in our next event!

Hi everyone! I’m Edelweiss and am currently finishing the Master of Industrial Design at the TU/e. When I just moved to Eindhoven I didn’t know many people in the city and heard from friends back home that joining AEGEE-Eindhoven could be fun. I joined the intro and after-intro events and experienced a warm and cozy vibe within the association, with very open-minded and friendly people. I joined a few committees soon after and can really recommend this to get to know people even better. My most memorable events were the Lustrum gala of AEGEE-Nijmegen, attending and organizing the European dinner, and the Lustrum Exchange to Tartu! During this exchange we got to know our lovely twin-local better and their amazing culture. It is funny to see how other AEGEE locals can be completely different but still so connected.
If you’re thinking of joining AEGEE-Eindhoven but you’re not completely sure, sign up for one of our events and experience the atmosphere yourself! I promise you’ll not regret joining.😊
