What drew the sorority girls to Tilburg?

Kim (23), Personnel Sciences: 'After an open day I was convinced. There was a nice atmosphere on the campus and my study was considered the best. I also knew people who studied in Tilburg, and their stories made me enthusiastic.'

What do sorority girls think is cool about their education?

Fien (21), Liberal Arts & Sciences: 'My study is super broad, so in my first year I already had subjects from five different tracks. I really liked this, because I didn't know exactly what I wanted to study. This study gave me extra time to orient myself.'

Noa (22), Communication IEMES: 'I like the fact that my study focuses on the entertainment industry. You get tools to get started there and have a connection with the practice.'

Daphne (20), Social Work: 'In my study you gain a lot of experience in the field. I did youth work, for instance. I did an internship at Oma's Soep, a project for lonely elderly people. And now I work with disabled people. It's great fun to be involved in so many different things.'

What will the sorority girls do after college?

Noa (22), Communication IEMES: 'I am an actress and I definitely want to continue with that. I can also see myself supervising other actors or working as a producer.'

Coralie (19), Liberal Arts & Sciences: 'After my studies I would like to work for an international company. The direction I have chosen within Liberal Arts And Sciences is international law. I hope to be able to combine that with the environment.'

Mies (23), Educational Sciences: 'After my bachelor I plan to follow the master's in Clinical Child and Youth Psychology, so for now I'll stay in Tilburg for a while.'

Mies (23), Educational Sciences: 'In Tilburg there are many opportunities to develop yourself outside your studies. For example, with a study association, a student association or a board year: there is something for everyone! You can make it as busy as you want. And Tilburg is not that big, so you quickly get to know many people!

Kim (23), Human Recource sciences: 'Tilburg is quite small, but that makes it a lot of fun. Everywhere you go you run into students and you quickly get to know other students. On weekday evenings the city is filled with students. Tilburg also has a lot of nice places, such as Spoorpark, Piushaven and Dwaalgebied, where there is always something to do.'
