Making friends
ESN Breda is one of the 500+ ESN sections around Europe. You can find ESN sections in more than 40 countries! We, at ESN Breda are aiming for creating a fully international environment and our main goal is to provide a great experience for every incoming international student in the Netherlands.
ESN is a sub-organisation of the Erasmus+ programme and is originally focused on exchange students. However, ESN Breda is operating for all international and Dutch students for a better chance to integrate. We provide train station pick-ups, we have a Buddy Programme that anyone can join and smaller social events for our buddy families.
Our board and committees consists of international and Dutch students, who are volunteering to create experiences for other students. We organize national and international trips, parties and cultural and sport events.
When you join ESN Breda or come to our events, you cannot avoid meeting people and making amazing friends! You have the chance to connect with people from all over the world. ESN is a special world and everywhere you go in Europe, you will automatically be part of this community!
Station pick-ups
One of the best things? ESN offers a train station pick-up service! When you arrive at Breda Central Station, ESN volunteers will be waiting at a meeting point to help you get a bus ticket and make sure you're on the right platform.
Once you arrive in Breda, ESN members are also available to help you collect your accommodation key! All you have to do is fill in this form and email your accommodation to give ESN permission to retrieve your key.
