Hestia – A home away from home
Hestia Student Lounge is located just a hop away from the main entrance of the
campus in Leeuwarden and consists of two houses. Since the lounge was opened in
2002 students can visit the facilities daily from 11:00 AM till 06:00 PM to study, relax,
socialise or meet with their study groups. Coffee, tea and free WiFi is always available.
Students are also welcome to realise their own public event ideas such as dinners or
even their private birthday party. The idea is to provide ‘a home away from home’ for
Dutch and international students within an intercultural atmosphere.
