Kick off the academic year with STAN and its partners in Flanders' coolest student city!
Dance to the coolest beats in the Dance zone, sports and challenging each other in the Play zone. The Recharge zone is there to unwind, and in the Discover zone, you can discover what Antwerp has to offer.
And all of this at Spoor Oost, on the last Thursday of September!
Thanks for being there and have a fantastic academic year!
Why StuDay?
Simple! StuDay is one big welcome party for the more than 55,000 Antwerp students . Because you help make Antwerp vibrant and the second-largest student city in Flanders. That calls for a party, doesn't it?
The city is huge and there's so much to experience that your student days won't be long enough! That's why we have the Discover Zone! Here you'll meet young DJ talents and their experimental tracks that will really rock the place.
Continue exploring the rest of this zone and learn all about nightlife and culture in the city. By the way, we don't mean café culture. But culture with a capital C.

DANCE
Dancing queen or king? Then you need to be at the dance stage on StuDay! DJs change up so quickly that the party never stops! You can show off your best (and worst) dance moves until 10 PM. From the dance floor to the turntables? Then the Vi.be competition is for you! Still not done dancing after StuDay? Check out the official afterparties!

Dance hard, play hard. That's StuDay too! In the Play Zone, you and your friends challenge each other to absurd but oh-so-memorable sports and games. And why not compete with other clubs for eternal glory during the Club Challenge?
Meanwhile, DJs encourage you with beats that determine your heart rate: up tempo!

PLAY
Looking for something a little more relaxed? Come chill in the recharge zone, the most vibrant part of the festival grounds. Chat with friends while soaking up new experiences, or opt for some me-time with a makeover.
Feel-good music takes center stage at the Recharge zone. And maybe you will too, because we'll be filling one slot with a Vi.be contest.

ABOUT StuDay & STAN
Since 2004, STAN has organized a welcome party for all Antwerp students on the last Thursday of September. A day dedicated to connection, celebration, and discovery. Everyone is safe and welcome here, regardless of skin color, gender, religion, background, disability, sexuality, or language.
​
StuDay is just the beginning! STAN and his editorial team will be sharing tips throughout the year on everything you need to know as a student in Antwerp.
​
Because igniting the inner fires of Antwerp students to reach their full potential? That's what STAN is all about. We'll show you the way through the city and your student life, reveal hidden gems, and simultaneously offer a listening ear. We do all of this together with the students, making your student life everything, but certainly unforgettable. With STAN, we place our students on a pedestal in the heart of Antwerp, a glorious partner in crime and the student city to live, study, and perhaps eventually even work. Hence our name: STAN, Student & Antwerp.
