With just one week to go until LEIP! Intro kicks off, excitement keeps building in Leeuwarden. Still unsure whether to grab your ticket ? Here are five reasons why you absolutely should not miss out on this opportunity to start your time in Leeuwarden on the right foot!
LEIP! Intro by Leeuwarden Student City
Whether you are studying at Campus Fryslân or at any other higher education institution in Leeuwarden, you are always welcomed as part of the city's lively student community. This community enjoys many opportunities to socialize, thanks to Leeuwarden Student City (LSC), a team of dedicated professionals who provide students with a fun and memorable study experience. One of these opportunities is LEIP! Intro, the general introduction period for all students in Leeuwarden. In this blog post, we talk about this initiative by debunking some of the most common myths the LSC team has heard over its 25 years of activity.

1. Networking Opportunities
LEIP! Intro attracts a large number of students, artists and professionals, all in the same week. This is why it is the perfect place for you to bump into strangers who can become friends, colleagues or even employers! The LEIP! Market on the Monday after intro week is your golden chance to meet potential employers and explore job opportunities in Leeuwarden. It's the perfect way to kickstart your new life in the city!

3. Free Festival Ticket
Your LEIP! Intro ticket also grants you access to the festival on September 12th. With the new friends you will meet during intro week, you can all go to the festival together. Enjoy live performances by De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig, Sera, and more. It’s the perfect opportunity to celebrate with your new friends and keep the excitement going.

4. Discount Vouchers
Not only will you receive a goodie bag containing a water bottle, a t-shirt, various discount flyers, and other gadgets; you’ll also have the chance to visit the LEIP! Market! Discover and connect with local companies and stakeholders, and enjoy exclusive discounts at a variety of local businesses for dining and shopping. The market is a must-do if you want to save money and find out the best places to eat and shop in Leeuwarden!
5. Expand Your Social Circle
Just ask Joeri, who went from knowing only two people in Leeuwarden to building a wide network during LEIP! Intro 2023.
“It’s an amazing opportunity to meet new people, make lasting connections, and dive into the city's student community. Last year I joined as a participant; this year I am part of the organizing team!”
The real question is: why would you NOT attend?
Skipping LEIP! Intro means missing out on essential networking opportunities, exclusive discounts, and a fun, interactive way to explore Leeuwarden. The treasure hunt alone offers a fantastic introduction to the city's highlights, including a visit to Tresoar, Leeuwarden’s historical archive.
