Student Organisations

Student organisations play a big role in this, and whether you're into culture, debate, sports, partying, or simply enjoy being around others – there's always a group that suits you.

Student folklore

From “klakken” and St V to playful initiation rituals and cantuses full of singing – student folklore is alive and well at VUB. It’s a world full of symbolism, friendship, and a healthy dose of self-mockery. Whether you actively take part or are just curious: folklore is a unique part of student life that you should experience at least once.
