WANTED: Walkabout guides
During a Walkabout, a student guide takes a small group of students on a tour of Antwerp. During the walk, which takes about one and a half hours, you share the best places for students in Antwerp with your group, you show them some beautiful landmarks and you answer all of their questions about the city. Entirely from your own view as an Antwerp student! The Walkabouts are organized throughout the entire year, but especially at the beginning of the academic year and the beginning of the second semester.
GATE15?
We understand that studying is more than going to class and passing your exams. We understand that your time as a student is the best time to experiment in life. That’s why we let you grow, thrive, fall and get up again, go on a journey and return with new insights. Because we have no doubt that you, as a student in Antwerp, have the potential to accomplish so much more than you might think. We are here for you during this important time in your life. Come work, study and toast with us to another amazing academic year and to learning new things. And do you have any suggestions? Mail us. Because together we will make your student period unforgettable.
