SYMPHONIC CITY SOUNDS

SCS does not stand for Sleepless College Students or Sociable Cantus Squad, it stands for Symphonic City Sounds. A symphonic orchestra for students and alumni, doesn’t that sound fun? dwars has even better news: new musicians are welcome. President Celine Meylemans and clarinettist Jeroen Standaert tell us more.

#STUDY INFLUENCERS

It’s time: you’re in Antwerp and now the real studying has started; at least, that is what everyone is telling you. Exams will be here sooner than you think, and your surroundings won’t let you forget that. Unfortunately, even the precious escape of the Internet isn’t safe anymore. You’ve probably seen them pass by on your screen: the student influencers. These accounts don’t commit themselves to lip syncing, dancing or over-the-top acting: that’s right, even studying can get you thousands of followers.
