The start of your study time means a new life. Alongside all the fun things—starting a new program and meeting new people—studying also brings a lot of questions. How does the public transport card work, what is the binding study advice, and how does the student loan system operate? And can you still find a room in Amsterdam these days? The ASVA student union is here to help you with this. We provide answers to all your questions about the university, living in Amsterdam, and studying itself. At ASVA, the interests of the student are central. We continuously advocate for quality education, among other things, by engaging with politicians and the media. But the most important thing for us is the conversation with you. What do students really think about higher education, and what needs to be improved?
ASVA offers various services to make your student life easier. At our student desk in CREA, you can come with any questions about studying in Amsterdam. Additionally, we regularly sell cheap bicycles (completely legally!) and have a room agency. We also offer free legal assistance if you need it. For example, if you have issues with your landlord or student financing, we are happy to help.
ASVA is always looking for enthusiastic and motivated students to strengthen the organization. Would you like to be active with ASVA? Then check out our vacancies or send an open application to vicevoorzitter@asva.nl.
