Academic Community

UCU is a residential academic community, where it is considered normal to work hard and aspire to do well in your academic work. Students organize many extracurricular activities that give an extra dimension to your education: lectures, performances, debate clubs, community outreach activities, off campus visits, student participation in academic affairs, and many more.

UCU is also a community for socializing: at parties, in the bar, over a meal, or simply in your residential units. Many Dutch students go to their parents’ homes during the weekend. They are encouraged to take non-Dutch UCU friends with them now and then, and to give them an extra experience of Dutch life, cities and culture.
