Tram 60: Papa Bram brings McFlurries

Cursor visits a student house every month. Who live there, what do they do there, what traditions do they have and what are they talking about? What we hear we write down, what we see we put on film. This time we visit Tram 60; a house situated at Tramstraat 60 in Eindhoven.

Tram 60 (nobody knows who invented that name) is a house with few rules. However after the last house party, the cleaning schedule has been dusted off again. The best man in this house with 21 residents divided over three floors, is Bram. Papa Bram, they call him.

Maartje Mutsers (studying at Fontys) still has to experience that, as this is her first month in the house (owned by Wooninc.). But Lisa Koolen (Avans) and Vera van Dongen (Fontys) know that you can always turn to housemate Bram. "He likes to hang up shelves and change lamps, always helps everyone and can even chase away mice."

Daphne van de Ven (Fontys), Ilana van den Akkerveken (TU/e, Psychology & Technology) and Ilana's fellow student Bas Buurman are joining at the table as well. Bas does not live in Tram 60. He is not really a neighbor either, more a guest. Daphne’s burgers are enjoyed and highly appreciated. The table is in the corridor, which in Tram 60 actually serves as a living room.

The 21 residents are generally divided fiftyfifty gender wise, but the ladies are, according to what they said, more active and therefore figuratively more present than the men. Now they are discussing whether they are going to play bingo at (Stations)Plein4 tonight. Vera did not buy 24 bingo markers for her housemates for nothing. "We’ve spent many Mondays playing bingo. We might have gone even fifteen times by now. They have cool gifts there." We don’t need many questions to find out that these mainly concern drink-related items.

The burgers are finished and as if it was prearranged, Bram comes in, for just a second. He is back from McDonalds on the Markt and is handing out McFlurries. Maartje now also realizes that papa Bram really is the best.
