Find more information here. Agendas, and links to the meetings, will also be posted at this link.
'Get-started'-day
On August 17, the day after matriculation, a vast number of different student organizations will be present on campus at Gløshaugen and Dragvoll, to showcase the variety of activities, causes and organizations you can engage with outside your studies at NTNU.
NTNU, and Trondheim in particular, is well-known for a vibrant and lively student community with a strong volunteerism spirit - as a result, there are literally hundreds of different associations, clubs, sports teams and organizations you can join in your free time, which is an excellent way to make friends.
Most of these will be present on campus on August 17, and will have stands outdoors where you can wander about and talk to representatives from any organization that catches your fancy. Representatives from certain services at NTNU and Sit, such as the Office of International Relations, will also be present.
The Office of International Relations will give a presentation (on campus) in English on the various student associations and organizations available.
Join us at "Fadderuka" (The buddy weeks). It will make first weeks as a new students easier. All new students can participate and you get to know your fellow students from day one!
Your Student buddy association is called " Omega "
