From 11 June until 1 July 2016, the Library, Aula and Fellowship will once again have extra long opening hours and extra study places available.

From June 16th the Library is opened two hours longer than usual during the exam period. This way, you will be able to prepare for your exams every day from 08:00 to 02:00!

• As usual, the Library is fully equipped for a proper exam preparation during this XXL period. Whether you’re looking for a quiet place to study or prefer to mingle with other students; the entire Library is at your disposal.
• Feel the need to relax? Try out one of the massage chairs, play a game of chess or enjoy your freshly brewed coffee at Coffee-Star.

Besides the XXL opening hours of the Library extra study places will be available in the Aula and the Fellowship from June 11^th till July 1st.

• The Aula will be open during week days from 08:00 till 22:00 and during weekends (extra) from 08:00 till 22:00. In the Foyer on the first floor you can find silent zones, in the Aula Entrance hall there are self-study places and in the restaurant area you can do your project work.
• The Fellowship will be open during week days from 08:00 till 00:00. During weekends you are welcome from 08:00 till 22:00. On Friday the 1st of July, the building closes at 20:00. The silent zone can be found on the second floor and instruction rooms. On the ground floor and hallways you can go for self-study and project rooms are available for project work places.

And just in case, you’d like to study somewhere else, ORAS made a nice overview of all opening hours around on campus:

Good luck with your exams!

Ever heard of the ‘salami-technique’? No, it isn’t a trick for making sandwiches… When a manager wants to implement a big change for which he or she expects strong opposition, the change is cut into little pieces.

Fun fact #1: the Salami sculpture on our campus has absolutely nothing to do with that technique! Continue reading →

‘I’ll just pull the door closed after me, I’m only gone for a couple of minutes, and my roommate will be home any time now.’ Sounds familiar? The most break ins in the Netherlands occur in rented homes. Specifically student accommodations are easy targets. ‘They are often badly protected against burglary and students pay little attention. They also usually house multiple students, so when you manage to get in it’s easy to quickly go through all the rooms. And they almost all have their own laptop, tablet or television.’, says an ex-burglar. Continue reading →

Wednesday, May 18th is the day for you to evoke your student rights and vote for the student council. No wonder that you probably noticed the promoters and posters of Oras and Lijst Beta all around campus last week. In case you haven’t spoken to one of them or just didn’t have the time to deepen yourself in the election points of both parties, we’ll provide you with a short overview of the main focus points of both parties:

Hopefully this overview helps you to make up your mind about what you are going to vote this week! Let your voice be heard and use your voice to choose the person/party you’d like to represent the students from TU Delft in the Student Council next academic year.
