The ASVA Student Union is the largest advocate for student interests in Amsterdam. We represent all 100,000 students in the city, including those in universities, universities of applied sciences, and vocational education. The quality and accessibility of education are under pressure, and with a shortage of 6,000 rooms, it is extremely difficult for students to find accommodation. To address these issues, we engage in discussions with the boards of educational institutions, investigate problems, reach out to the media, and organize demonstrations.
