After two years of getting acquainted (partly) through a computer screen, the Delft welcome week OWee is finally taking place as usual. For five days, incoming freshmen are discovering the city and the various associations.
A few minutes before the first participants receive their entry bands, members of student association Sint Jansbrug make the final preparations. With extreme precision, they stretch a banner of their association along the bicycle route from the campus to the city, just before the Hambrug – which, of course, is once again open.
Meanwhile, the campus is buzzing with activity. Starting at 1 PM, the thousands of participants may – in shifts – pick up their OWee bands in the Aula. Pink for freshmen and blue for mentors.
Room seeks student. No living space yet? In the Mekelpark there are dozens of advertisements. Who knows, maybe your dream room is among them.
The fact that the introduction week is physical does not mean that the coronavirus has disappeared. The OWee board therefore calls on all participants to test if they have any symptoms. Free self-tests are available at the information point on campus.
During the Schiediner, many a freshman ‘cook’ his or her first meal ever. With varying degrees of success.
