Experiences of former board members

Nothing gives a better picture of a board year than the stories of the students who went before you. You will face challenges you never come across in the lecture hall!

It was only when I helped out as a volunteer and drove a van from Nijmegen to Enschede that I realised how incredibly big this event is. The atmosphere thousands of students create is unparalleled. How cool is it to be at the controls yourself? Here you get the chance to show your qualities in something other than an exam. Having coffee with the police and fire brigade about a safety plan, or changing the route at the last minute because of a motocross in the Achterhoek... It is exactly these unique moments and the close-knit network that make this year so valuable!

Together with your fellow board members, you tackle problems you won't come across anywhere else. It is a unique chance to develop yourself, build a network, drink the best beers with your team and, of course, put on the coolest event in the world!
