The Erasmus Student Network (ESN) Leiden is part of the larger Erasmus Student Network, which is one of the biggest interdisciplinary student associations in Europe, founded in 1989 to support and develop student ex-change.
The main focus of ESN is on all current international and exchange students in Leiden. However, you do not necessarily need to be a student to be able to join ESN. Many internationals in Leiden or expats working in international organizations, also join our activities.
ESN facilitates academic, social and practical integration through various activities & programs. These activities include cultural and social events, such as trips to various destinations, language exchange, clubs to suit all interests, international dinners and parties.
Meanwhile, the ESN Squad Program helps international students with academic and practical integration by matching students with a Squad Captain who helps them to integrate into their student lives in Leiden.
