The ESNcard is the membership card of the Erasmus Student Network (ESN). It gives you access to all the services offered by ESN and all their partners. The aim of the ESNcard - or ESN membership - is to support international students and trainees and give them access to affordable opportunities during their period abroad.

With the ESNcard, you will enjoy plenty of discounts - housing, sport, food, bars, etc.- all over Europe. You will also have the opportunity to participate in hundreds of events with your ESN section and other sections around your destination country, and even beyond, for the period of your membership.

Price depends to some extent on where you buy it, but it generally costs about 10 euros. There is no ESN card distribution point in Eindhoven, and the closest one is in Tilburg.

Most ESNcard distribution points are only open on weekdays and you have to go there to pick up your card, however, ESN Breda has an option to order the card from their internet shop and they can send the card afterwards by post. It takes about a week to get the card and about 5 minutes to register it on esncard.org.
