Sleeping in the Enschede Sports Center: nice and warm indoors
Don't you like camping? Or do you prefer to sleep nice and warm inside with the sanitary facilities in the same building? In the Sports Centre you can be sure that you'll be warm and dry, and that you'll be woken up on time for your stage! With sleeping vouchers you can sleep in the sports halls of the University of Twente. You do need to bring a sleeping bag and air mattress, but you can leave your tent at home!

Your team leader can buy the sleeping vouchers through the online voucher sales. Keep an eye on our website regarding the online voucher sale for the next edition.
