After a year on the board of student society E.S.C., I’m now in the final phase of my bachelor study in Data Science at TU/e. Eindhoven is my student city; it may not be the most classic student city in the country, but it thrives on innovation and progress. It’s exactly this combination of tradition and modernity that makes it such an exciting place to study and live.

My student life is about more than just sitting in lecture halls. When I'm not studying you can often find me in the city or on the hockey fields at the campus. At the same time, I will reflect in my columns on the various challenges that we, as students, face both within and outside the university. I’ll regularly share my thoughts on these issues, because it’s these experiences that make student life so intense and enriching.
