Student life

Everybody knows that being a student is much more than studying till the early hours of the morning and sweating at exams. That is just part of it. The part that helps you expand your mind, test your brain, make you proud of your hard-won achievements and feel yourself slowly but certainly develop into a qualified professional with expert knowledge and managerial skills. But a well-balanced professional also relaxes.

Fun, sports and being together with like-minded friends and going on trips: that is the reward for hard work. Vlissingen and Middelburg offer you everything you need to enjoy student life. Within cycling distance you will find shops, bars, the beach and loads of activities at HZ itself.

FISA is the only student association for Dutch and international students in Flushing. It is an open student association, where every student is welcome to join and enjoy student life! FISA is a big multicultural group, that is up to fun and bring some activities into a student life. Their goal is to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.

FISA’s activities include:

• Theme parties once or twice a month in HQ Basement
• Socializing activities/events like movie nights, dinners, bowling nights, graffiti workshops etc.

The board of FISA has regularly meetings, where they are brainstorming and thinking about a new theme party or an event. They are also sharing their opinions, to see what FISA can improve. The team is in charge of buying decoration and decorate the place and planning the work plan. Since FISA is cooperating with Tapperij de Ruyter, they need to make conversations with the owners as well. To sum up, one could say that the board of FISA are leading a little business.
