Stories about student folklore

The big annual meeting in student life is Saint-Vé, usually 20 November. The founder of the ULB/VUB, Pierre-Théodore Verhaegen, is solemnly commemorated and the students do that through a legendary party in the city. Also the Humanistic Song Festival, early December, is very fun because the Aula Q is converted for a time into a musical festival temple, where the beer per tray and the cava per bottle go over the counter. In addition, there are all kinds of rituals such as invasion, baptism, degeneration and remarkable costume traditions. And parties and singing of course.

We let some witnesses and experts speak.

Brussels Humanities, Sciences & Engineering Campus

The green amphitheater is the 'chill' spot, especially in the summer. In addition, there are many meeting places and options for cosiness.

Brussels Health Campus

The location next to one of the most unique natural areas of Brussels makes the campus Jette a chilling place. Students roll out their own sleeves for a cozy glass.
