The student experience at Maastricht University combines modern study spaces, historic architecture and a more comfortable campus environment. According to students, recent improvements have made the university feel more functional, modern and enjoyable to spend time in.

The university is also investing in sustainability and aims to become fully sustainable by 2030.

Sustainability and Solar Panels

Maastricht University has installed 72 new solar panels in the courtyard of the Student Services Centre.

Because many university buildings are historic and monumental, installing solar panels can be challenging. Despite this, the university has set an ambitious goal of becoming fully sustainable by 2030.

Renovated Study and Lounge Areas

UNS 60 has recently been renovated into a more comfortable lounge area. Students can use the space between classes to study, take a break or simply relax during long university days.

A Student Council Initiative

The SBE Lounge was created through an initiative by the Student Council. It was designed as a place where students can meet friends, have conversations and spend time between classes.

Combining Historic and Modern Design

One of the features students highlight is the combination of historic architecture with modern design.

Older architectural details have been preserved while newer interiors create a more modern and practical environment.

Modern Labs and New Spaces

Students also describe the renovated laboratories and study areas as giving the university a more contemporary atmosphere. These spaces are designed for academic work while also creating a more comfortable and motivating environment.

A Relaxed and Social Atmosphere

After long and intensive study days, students can use several social and relaxation areas around campus.

These include:

•⁠  ⁠A pool table

•⁠  ⁠Magazines

•⁠  ⁠A book exchange

•⁠  ⁠Comfortable lounge areas

Students describe these spaces as helping to create a cosy and welcoming atmosphere.

Student life at Maastricht University combines modern academic spaces, sustainability initiatives and relaxed social areas. According to students, the mix of historic architecture, renovated facilities and comfortable shared spaces helps create a distinctive campus experience.
