The PENGUIN weekend offers you an opportunity to get to know the university, the city of Rotterdam and your fellow students in a fun and informal way, before the semester starts. PENGUIN is an introduction camp, this means that you will be staying over on an external location with the other first year students and the Freshmen Committee. We have several activities planned both during the day as in the evenings, thus you will be with the group the entire weekend.The goal of the weekend is to make you feel comfortable and at home around your new classmates. There will be a series of games and activities to both get to know each other and the city. Furthermore, there will be an opportunity to meet older Econometric students, who are more than happy to provide insights into your upcoming studies and life in Rotterdam. All together we hope to provide you a fun weekend before you start your challenging studies.
As you have probably heard Econometrics is rather challenging, and therefore it is important to bond with your classmates, and what better way to do this than to spend a whole weekend with them, participating in fun team bonding activities?
This years weekend will take place from 30th of August until the 1st of September and will cost 50 euros.
