International Student Network
ISN-Leiden is a student organisation that aims to give the international student an interesting, exciting, and all-out great time in Leiden. ISN-Leiden gives you the opportunity to meet other international and Dutch students, get to know Dutch student life, and get a feel for Dutch culture.
ISN-Leiden is the Leiden section of the International Erasmus Student Network. ISN-Leiden is one of the 11 operational sections of ESN in the Netherlands. The network's mission is to facilitate the welcoming and integration of international exchange students in the town where they have chosen to study.
Activities
To further this mission and objectives, the tasks of ISN-Leiden include: organising activities, coordinating a mentor programme, and providing information for international exchange students relating to their study period in Leiden.
Throughout the year, ISN-Leiden organises parties and excursions to, for example, the Peace Palace in The Hague, to Amsterdam and the Heineken Brewery. Also, every Wednesday at 22.00 there are drinks for international students in café Einstein, Nieuwe Rijn 19.
