Intro Wednesday in 10 photos: exploring the city’s hotspots

On the third day of Intro, the morning program revolved around PSV. After a joint start at the stadium, first-year students spent the afternoon visiting various hotspots in downtown Eindhoven. The evening ended with a pub crawl on Stratumseind, or a calmer alternative in the Luna building.

At ten in the morning, after yet another short night, the students gathered at the PSV stadium. There, they took part in a quiz about Eindhoven’s beloved soccer club. For international students and those less interested in soccer, it was sometimes a bit of a wait.

Afterward, the first-years set off to explore several important spots in the city. Each intro group was given a mapped-out route. At Area51, students had the chance to try out BMX, skateboarding, dancing, and freerunning.

Another stop was LAB-1, where comedian Stephen Bell performed a comedy show every half hour. The highlight was a humorous photo quiz centered around one key question: is this person a carnival-goer or a designer attending Dutch Design Week?

Other sights included the Philips Museum and Dynamo, where students could spend time gaming or trying out the DJ booth.

Several student associations, including E.S.C., Demos, and Thêta, also welcomed many visitors.

While hundreds of students gathered at Stratumseind after the afternoon program, around sixty first-years opted for a low-stimulus alternative in Luna. The so-called Tangent Track was designed for students who aren’t big on partying or simply preferred a calmer evening.
