So I messed up and registered for EBC2018 instead of EBC2164 (the mandatory one) for the first period of my second year. I was originally considering a different specialization at the time of registration, decided against it, but forgot to switch my registration back.

I know there's usually a "if you forget to register, tough luck" policy, but this is more of a "registered for the wrong thing" situation rather than forgetting entirely. Has anyone here dealt with something similar? Did you manage to get it corrected through student services, or is this basically a lost cause once the deadline passes?

Hello,

I'm moving to the Netherlands (Maastricht) as a student at the end of the month. I sent the request already but I will most probably get an appointment for a BSN number way after I reached the city. In the student studio I rent I have all utilities but electricity included. My question is: do I need a BSN number to get an electricity contract? If I need one I'll be stuck without electricity for weeks and it seems strange...

I already found an answer on a 7y old post saying I don't need BSN nor Dutch IBAN to sign utilities, I'm now wondering if it's still the same in 2026.

Thank you all

Hi everyone!

I’m 21, originally from India, and starting my Master’s in Data Science this fall, and I’ll be arriving in Maastricht on 25 August. Sadly, that means I’m missing most of Inkom.

I’ve heard that Inkom is where a lot of people make their first friends, and those groups sometimes stick together throughout the year. So naturally, I’m arriving late and immediately overthinking it.

I’d love to meet new people and get involved in fun communities or just random activities where it’s easy to meet people. Studim Generale seems intresting. UM website has listed student organizations in Maastricht but I think some of these are outdated.

I’ll be living around De Heeg (Reijckenborg), but I’m happy to travel anywhere in Maastricht.

So, where should a late-arriving student go to find their people?
I would love anything slightly unusual, nerdy, creative, adventurous, or just plain fun. 😄

And if you’re also arriving around the same time and looking for people to hang out with, feel free to say hi!

Can someone be brutally honest with me, I am supposed to be moving to maastricht in 3 weeks. I’ve tried everything, everyone rejects me what do I do is it over?

I’m gonna be an exchange student coming in this fall and just wanted to reach out in regards to opportunities to connect with others before getting onto campus soon. I’m coming from Los Angeles and was particularly interested in the artistic/ creatively inclined groups around the area and want to find cool ppl to meet. I can give my Instagram to those who are interested lol.

I´m going to start my master in IB Strategic Corporate Finance this August. Unfortunately, due to professional and familiar reasons I will only get to Maastricht on the 27th and therefore I will miss the introduction week. Can someone tell me wether this is problematic? Am I going to miss important info?
