Are you the Ping Pong King?- By Milan + 1
- Lobke: “As far as I'm concerned, Ping Pong is also a sport. It can get quite competitive. The Ping Pong Club is super fun to go to with friends and have a great time hitting the ball with a paddle.”
- Milan: “To be honest, I've only been there once, just before all the catering industry closed again, but it was certainly worth repeating.”
Parnassos Cultural Center
Cultural heart of the UU community.- By Lobke + 1
- Ingmar: “Great place to express yourself and let your creative juices flow. Parnassos offers all things creative from acapella and photography to singing and theatre.”
- Lobke: “This is where I always rehearse for theater. After these rehearsals, we often end up at the Parnassos Bar, a cozy café with a piano. Before joining Stuk, I frequently took courses or workshops at Parnassos. There's a wide variety available. Check it out 😊.”

- Fayruz : “As I wander aimlessly around Griftpark, I forget about my stress. I just focus on the green scenery, the ducks leisurely swimming in the pond, and the trees. If you take a break from studying, I highly recommend taking a stroll in the park, as it can be a rejuvenating experience for the soul.”
- Studentlife Team: “Griftpark has so much to offer, from a basketball court to skate park and a “city petting zoo”!”
Wilhelminapark
This 122-year-old park is Utrecht's most favourite spot for a summer BBQ.- By Jiani + 3
- Wiktoria: “I have a soft spot for this place since a lot of social events took place there during my first year of studying in Utrecht. ”
- Kees: “I have a very sweet dog who I love to walk and play with. When we go to the Wilhelmina Park together, she is as happy as a pup and runs/swims after everything.”
- Jiani : “We held our Welcome Week at this park, and there was plenty of space for a variety of outdoor activities. You can bring a blanket for a picnic, and there is also a beautiful view of the pond and trees, making it an exceptional place to enjoy a good time with friends in good weather! I met my classmates here, enjoyed some beer, and soaked up the sun on a lovely afternoon.”
