Just like in previous years, staff from the Student Sports Centre (SSC) are once again leading a half-hour morning workout to help wake everyone up (see main photo). After that, the final phase of the Campus Quest begins. Here, students test the objects they built (or didn’t) yesterday.

After a short recharge during lunch, everyone heads to the Campus Market. Associations, services, and all kinds of initiatives do their best to introduce themselves to the brand-new students. After dinner with their intro parents, the evening wraps up with — once again — a party. On campus, Stratumseind, or at Neuron during the Tangent Track.

Guided by two enthusiastic SSC staff members, the energy is sparked. There’s a big turnout, and the students participate with enthusiasm. As for the execution — there’s the whole academic year to keep working on that.

Spread across the campus – and a few groups at the Karpendonkse Plas – students get to test out what they built on Monday. As every year, CHEOPS students take on the (impossible) battle against the fire hose. Wet feet guaranteed.

Some study associations, such as GEWIS, chose not to have their students build anything on Monday. Instead of testing a construction, they organize their own invented games. “We’re not really a ‘building’ kind of study, and we think it’s more important to highlight our societies. That’s why we asked each one to organize a game,” explains Job van de Ven, member of the bar committee at GEWIS.

Since last year, lunch is no longer organized by the Central Introduction Committee. Still, there are plenty of options. Some study associations offer affordable meals, cafés like Hubble and Meteor have special lunch deals, and of course, the Spar remains a favorite.

After a short breather during lunch, it's time for the students to get back to it. The entire campus is filled with stalls, activities, and above all, lots of enthusiastic senior students all eager to catch the attention of the newcomers.

Whether you’re looking for a cultural association, like Quadrivium - the association for classical music - for example...

..a sport association like rowing association Thêta, which can be seen above..

…or a social association like Demos. There’s truly something for everyone at the campus fair.

In the evening, the intro parents have to work even harder than usual; they need to cook for all their children. Cursor joins two groups for dinner in the Terra building on campus. On the menu: pasta pesto.
