Student Social Activities

A great share of social activities on campus is made possible by the different committees of the University College Student Association (UCSA). You can find out more about them on the UCSA website.

College Bar

The College Bar is run by the Bar Committee and relies on volunteering students. It is accessible to all UCSA members. Opening hours of the bar are 22:00 – 02:00. Smoking is not permitted. Students are required to register off-campus guests with the bar and take responsibility for their guests while they are on campus. 

Sports on campus

The campus has a small gym run by the Gym Committee. Students can only make use of the gym after a compulsory introduction and after signing a liability waiver.

There is also a sports court located on campus, on which for instance soccer and tennis can be played. Next to the sports court there is a volleyball court and basketball court. 

The UCSA's Sports Committee organises practices for several sports on and off-campus. Students can find out more about these practices during introduction week.
