#studentlife
Leiden is a small city, but a nice one. As a student city dating back over 400 years, Leiden has played a significant role in history. Yet Leiden also leads the way in student associations, with over 20 to choose from. There is every possible association to join, whether it's sports, culture or music, or ones just to get together for a good time. There's something there for everyone!
Leiden is also a major cultural hotspot. Art by famous Leiden masters Rembrandt van Rijn and Jan Steen can be admired in Leiden museums. Not into art? Then why not catch a movie or enjoy a night out at the Leiden theatre, Stadsgehoorzaal, watching a play or stand-up comedy, which can also be done at one of the many other cultural venues Leiden is home to. And don't forget to clear your calendar in October for the Leids Ontzet, the party for Leiden residents, a holiday commemorating the city being saved from a Spanish siege by the geuzenvloot, the fleet with the Dutch rebels called Geuzen on board. Besides all the student society activities, visits to the pubs with friends and lively shared meals with housemates, you will still need to study too. That means you need the right software and digital tools for studying. Luckily, SURFspot is just the place to find all this.
Software for your studies
Leiden student life is expensive enough as it is, so you don't want to be paying too much for your software. Thanks to our agreements with suppliers, we can always give you a fair price as a Leiden student. Are you wondering what other Leiden students need for their study programme? We made a list, here at SURFspot, of the most popular brands.
- Every student needs Microsoft Office! How else will you be typing your reports, creating presentations or managing datasets?
- Are you doing a study programme in Leiden that you need Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, XD or Lightroom for? SURFspot is where you can purchase an Adobe Creative Cloud licence at a discount.
- Subjects and courses with lots of statistics are notorious, but if you have the right software, you will manage to sail through! At SURFspot, you can purchase the required licence for IBM SPSS or other statistics software for a student price. Do you need to transcribe interviews for your research? In that case, consider getting a licence for Amberscript.
Don't forget! Protect your (new) laptop with antivirus software
Antivirus software is very important in protecting your laptop or computer.
