A new committee, a new Phoenix. Every year this bird rises to great heights, burning bright until summer break leaves it in ashes. Now it has risen once more and has taken off again! A first edition packed with fresh content as well as a return of the classics  (read all about them in the…

It seems only yesterday that I was running around like a crazy person trying to convince the people at Burgerzaken Utrecht to give me my driver’s license in the beginning of October. It’s been a month,however, and time has never moved so fast as the past 30 days. On the 7th, I found myself going…

By now you’ve all seen the facebook event, but it’s understandable if you still haven’t got a clue what a Student Assembly is or why it’s a good idea to attend one. Let me break it down for you: University is as good as you make it. And believe it or not, good as you…

On Saturday November 21st Wereldwijzer hosts its annual Infodag Vrijwilligerswerk Buitenland. If you’ve always wanted to do some volunteering in another country this is your chance to go to a presentation, do a workshop, or talk with former volunteers. Aside from the opportunity to get more info on volunteering in another country, you can also…

Oh deary me, the first month of the academic year has come and gone which can only mean that it’s time for the first monthly recap. I am going to boldly assume that all of our new members have read every single post on our website in anticipation for their initiation as Albion-members, but to…

lus·trum (het; o; meervoud: lustra, lustrums) 1. tijdperk van vijf jaar 2. feest dat om de vijf jaar gevierd wordt Or so says De Dikke van Dale. What more is there to say? Well, for starters, this is the 5th lustrum of the students association for English Language and Culture, so again we turn to…

If you’re like me, you’ve probably wondered why you’ve been walking around with a laminated piece of paper in your wallet. The answer is simple really: Because it’s important to always carry a picture of your mum with you, you never know how long she’ll be around. Behind that picture you’ve most likely stuffed so…

Dear members, There’s still time to sign up for one (or several) of our wonderful committees. You have until Monday 7th! But why sign up for a committee? Good question. Here’s a number of reasons for you: Buff up your resume: This might not sound very important now, but when you’re done at university and…

Whether it’s the Big Apple, Hogwarts or King’s Landing you’re visiting: be sure to drop Albion a line

Dear all, We would like to be able to welcome you as Albioneers as well next year. However, that decision might not be for now. Maybe you still have some questions regarding studying English, or some doubts. A lot of you already indicated during the matching that you would like to get in touch with…

What better way to start your holiday than to visit Douwe Egberts and sip some ice cold coffees whilst enjoying your freedom? Do not worry, Albion’s got your back. Just make sure to use protection (against the sun) and bring your Albion card for a 10% discount on your order. We’ll see you fully caffeinated…

The last Phoenix issue of this academic year is out now. Featuring an interview with the one and only Simon Cook, a review of SUDS and many more interesting features!

Albion now has a flowchart to answer your most burning questions of who to question! So if you want to ask something, but are not sure who to ask, ask this flowchart who’s your person! Another development is that we are currently looking for people who would like to organise the Albion lustrum. We turn…

It’s pretty damn sure the stufi as we know it is going to disappear and to say I’m worried is an understatement. To not complicate things more this post will be in Dutch (’cause really, it’s confusing enough as it is). Het is bijna zeker dat per 1 september 2015 het basisbeurssysteem gaat verdwijnen. Hier…
