AEGEE-Eindhoven is the European student association of Eindhoven. As an association we organize numerous parties, borrels, dinners and other local activities. However, since we are a European association we also organize activities, have weekly dinners and trips throughout the entire continent, the whole year long! From Tenerife to Tbilisi, we have been and will go anywhere. This way you do not only make friends in Eindhoven, but you build a network of friends throughout the whole of Europe!

Experiences from our members
Olá! I’m Joana, I’m Portuguese and I did my Erasmus internship at TU/e.
During my time in Eindhoven, AEGEE-Eindhoven played a big role in making my exchange experience truly unforgettable. It was the perfect way to meet new people and learn more about Dutch (and many other) cultures.
One of my favorite parts was the local Wednesday activities, always followed by cool hangouts at Hubble. It was the perfect way to end the day, surrounded by friendly, open-minded people. I made some amazing friendships that stayed with me even after my Erasmus semester was over.
After leaving Eindhoven, I still wanted to stay involved, so I joined the Exchange Committee. And the best part? I got to host an exchange in my home city, Porto! Having my AEGEE friends visit and getting to show them around was such a fun and meaningful experience.
If you’re thinking of joining AEGEE-Eindhoven, go for it! You’ll find more than just an association. You’ll find a real community.
Joana
Hi everyone! I’m Stan and follow the bachelor Architecture, Urbanism, and Building Sciences at TU/e. At the start of my studies, I joined AEGEE. With two friends I knew from secondary school, we were walking at the intro market and came across AEGEE. The atmosphere and the people felt very welcoming and the association sounded exactly what we were searching for: a nice community in Eindhoven with both activities in Eindhoven, other cities in the Netherlands and travelling abroad. Therefore, the three of us directly joined.
Some of the things I liked the most in Eindhoven were the fun activities on wednesday evenings, such as the After-Intro BBQ and the European night with food and drinks from all over Europe, but also the tosti lunches were great!
Our first Exchange was to Antwerp. Even though Antwerp does not have an AEGEE local to meet, it was very fun with our group to visit the city and go out in the club underneath our hostel (and to wake up extra early next morning to go running).
