A student arriving at either Amsterdam institution can join the introduction week, ask for a buddy and use the ESNcard, and the section keeps an office in the CREA building to walk into.
About
ESN Amsterdam is one of the Dutch local sections of the Erasmus Student Network. It describes itself as a student run nonprofit for international students at the University of Amsterdam and the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences, so it is the section attached to those two institutions. Its office is in the CREA building on Nieuwe Achtergracht. The activities it lists are an introduction week, a buddy programme, a language exchange, weekly drinks, and events and trips through the year; its homepage names these without describing how they work. Membership runs through the ESNcard, which it presents mainly as a card giving discounts on travel and food. The section publishes no general email address and no telephone number. It works instead through social media and messaging, with an open WhatsApp group and a Facebook group a student can join directly. Its site is in English. It calls itself a nonprofit but gives no legal form, association name, Chamber of Commerce number or founding year.
