Leiden Welcome Week 2026

We're excited to introduce The Welcome Week, featuring two main events where all new students can come together in Leiden! 🎉

Get ready to party with your new classmates, friends, and even locals-this is the perfect chance to connect and break the ice with all the new students. 🥳

The Welcome Week includes:

✨ 04/09 | Wibar Opening Party: Once the first-week stress and responsibilities are behind you, enjoy the start of your semester. Join new students from all universities, make lasting connections, and explore Leiden's nightlife. Let’s break the ice!

🎊 18/09 | White Party: Worried about not finding a real friend group to share unforgettable memories with this semester? Join the "White Party", where you'll meet your 'family abroad', the friends you've been dreaming of. Come dressed in your whitest outfit.

Start your journey with the right people from day one ✨
