But during the study day, for which you can separately apply, you will only have the presentation, where you will meet more bijvakstudents and learn more about the WUR. The rest of the AID-days are the same for all participants so you will not miss a thing.
Low-stimulus groups
Everybody deserves a great time when exploring new places. During the AID, it is therefore possible to join an AID group for people who may find the AID overwhelming, who need a bit more time to talk about their needs, or require more time to process stimuli. We want everyone to feel included and heard, and we aim to ensure that everybody has a safe space during the introduction days.
If you feel overwhelmed and need some quiet time, you can always go to a room in Forum on campus that is reserved for this purpose.
See you at the AID!
