Fontys international student association

As a newcomer to a student city, it will be important that you feel at home in your new environment as quickly as possible and one way of doing so will be to make some new friends. By joining a student association, you will have the opportunity to meet many new people. Almost all Course Departments have their own student associations.

FISA Eindhoven

The Fontys International Student Association, or ‘FISA’, based in Eindhoven, was established in 2005. It is an association where all Fontys international students can get together. FISA works closely with both the Fontys International Office and the Fontys Student Centre, to ensure that the welfare and rights of international students at Fontys are maintained. The FISA also organises a range of social gatherings and educational activities. For further information, please send an e-mail to fisa@fontys.nl.

ESN Tilburg

Like other local sectors, the Erasmus Student Network, or ‘ESN’, based in Tilburg, aims to ensure that international exchange students in Tilburg feel at home, have a great time, meet many new people and gain a good general, overview of Dutch student life and Dutch culture. To this end, the ESN Tilburg offers a mentoring programme, which links a group of 7 – 9 international students with 2 – 3 Dutch mentors, who help them with any practical problems and show them around Tilburg. In addition, the mentors arrange activities, excursions, special weekends and parties for international exchange students. For further information, please refer to the websites, www.iesntilburg.nl and www.top-week.nl/en.
