| − | Student life in Eindhoven is heavily based on associations. An association, in short, is a group of students that share a common interest, that organizes events related to that interest. However, for many, this is simply the starting point, and associations will often organize unrelated activities for the sake of doing things together with others in the association. For instance, the tennis association [https://www.fellenoord.nl/ Fellenoord] mostly organizes training and competitions, but members will also get together to have a drink or host an event.

| − | [https://www.tue.nl/en/our-university/community/federation-of-study-associations-eindhoven/ FSE] is the umbrella organization for study associations of the TU/e. One study association, listed separately, is not part of FSE.

For exchange programs, the general application procedure is explained [https://www.tue.nl/en/education/exchange-programs/how-to-apply/ here].

A student association is what in other cultures is often referred to as a ''fraternity''. This means they organize parties, drinks, and other such activities. Student associations in Eindhoven have a rich history and many traditions, and thus most require you to speak some amount of Dutch. However, they do organize events open to the public throughout the year. If you would like to join a student association, be prepared for some hazing.
