The exams have ended and now your student life is getting closer and closer!
We, the student association A.S.V. Taste, hope to help you in making this an amazing time. During the Kick-In, you can recognise us from the 'Taste mouth'.
Check out our intro video here!
The Kick-In is right around the corner again! The Kick-In will take place from wednesday the 21st of august until thursday the 29th of august. Will you join us at Taste during the Kick-In?
We are busy with planning and organising the incredibly epic Kick-In. Join a Taste do-group or come by our own bar someday! On this website, you can find more information on why it is so much fun to be a member of Taste. Do we see you at Antigoon?
You can become a member of A.S.V. Taste by signing up via our sign-up forms. You can sign up from now until the 24th of September online. The Kick-In for UT Students is the 21th of August until the 29th of August, and the HOI week for Saxion students are the 26th of August until the 29th of August. After the Kick-In and HOI week there will be an introduction period to let you become familiar with our association.
In the life of a student, money has quite a big role. Your rent and college money have to paid, you need to eat and you want to do some fun things as well. If you are a member of A.S.V. Taste you pay about 125 euros per year as contribution, making us one of the cheapest student associations of the Netherlands. In addition, you have to pay your bills from the pub. Which will not be a lot, as at our society you only have to pay 1,05 euros for a beer!
The most important question of students-to-be is how good a student association can be combined with your study. At A.S.V. Taste we find it important that you have an incredible time, but study will always have the highest priority. That is why it is completely on you to determine how much time you will spend with the association and how much time on studying.
During the exam periods, a lot of members of Taste will be busy studying at the university. Studying together works stimulating and there are always people you can drink coffee with. Furthermore, every module an exam lunch is prepared at the university which all Taste members can enjoy for free. Lastly, study evenings are organised for courses that many members take like calculus.
The difference between a general and a corporal student association is that a general student association has no internal hierarchy. We are an association where everyone can become a member and where everyone is equal, regardless of how long you are a member. That's why there is no difference in how much you pay in contribution fees and other activities.
Every year you can sign up to become a member of A.S.V. Taste from the beginning of the Kick-in, up until the Grolsch After Kick-In Party. The reason for this is that the introduction period of Taste is planned on two predetermined moments. If you decide to become a member in your second or even third study year, it is possible to sign up at the Kick-In of that year.
If you are officially signed up for A.S.V. Taste you have to participate in a introduction period. The introduction period consists of a week and an after-week. When you are officially a member, you will start to form your year club. A year club consists of 8-12 men or women from the same year layer. The formation of a year club is not mandatory but is highly recommended. Further activities throughout the year are without obligation.
Yes, of course. You can however not drink any alcohol at the sociëteit if you are younger than 18.
How much time a student association takes depends completely on you and how active you want to become. Before you are officially a member, you have to do an introduction period. The introduction period includes a weekend and an after-week.
If you are a member forming your year club is the next step. During this period loads of fun activities are organised to get to know your year layer better. Furthermore, it is possible to do committees. The degree in which you want to spend your time on this is again completely on you.
