My older sister was already a student at UNamur when I was considering my choice of studies and university. She told me about it so enthusiastically that I wanted to discover the place for myself. My participation in the open courses then confirmed my choice: I found the university and the town of Namur very welcoming. Everything made me want to study there.

I wanted to become a geology student ambassador to help future students make the right choices. By sharing what we're passionate about in our studies, answering their questions and giving them a glimpse into our daily lives, we can really help them better project themselves.

I highly recommend the Belfry gallery, which is free and open to all, the Citadelle of course, and also plays at the Delta or the Théâtre de Namur, which are at affordable rates for students.

Even if you're not sure, go for it. If it works, great. If it doesn't work out so well, it's never a waste of time: you'll have tried and learned.

For me, studying at UNamur is much more than just taking classes: it's about making the most of student life, discovering the city and its riches, and taking the time to get to know each other better. It's also about creating a future while having fun, in a human-scale environment where it's good to learn and exchange.
