BREDA STUDENT CITY
STUDENT ASSOCIATIONS, SORORITIES & FRATERNITIES
Student Associations
Even though Breda is not an “official” student city, there are several student associations, fraternities, and sororities. Attached to the academy of Hotel and Facility Management are S.A. Xenia and SV ‘t KAG.
At the InterSib you will definitely meet them, they will present themselves and will be out and about at the Warande. And you can hang out with the people of the associations, ask them questions and party with them.
A student association can spice up your student-life a bit and make things easier for you as you will get in contact with people from different years and ages. If you are not at all interested in student associations, fraternities or sororities, don’t worry. Breda has something to offer for all of us and we are sure you are going to love it here!!
Well.. this might give you an idea of what is waiting for you in Breda! If you have questions about anything, please send an e-mail! Remember; we are here to help you!
Going out in Breda
For us students there is something going on in Breda every day of the week. Nice places to go to as a student are; Café Dunne, Café de Kater, Café Walkabout, Peddels, Dependance, and Café Janssen. These are just some of the nice places the city has to offer for a nice drink or dancing!
Also, Breda has some nice places to eat out that meet our student budget! Some places we like to go to are; Suikerkist, Dependance, Bruxelles, De Markt, Popocateptl and proeflokaal Bregje.

Welcome new student, or ‘Sibje’ as we like to call our first years. You will be starting a new chapter in your life, and our student association Xenia is here to make those years the best! S.A. Xenia was founded on May 30th 2002, by six students of NHTV Academy of Hotel management (now Breda University of Applied Sciences). ‘Xenia’ means ‘Friendship & Hospitality’ in Greek.
We are an innovative and creative association with two sororities, one mixed fraternity, and one fraternity. Our goal is to provide you with the best student life in Breda by parties, network possibilities, annual activities like the gala and the beer cantus, and so much more!

This can give you the opportunity to get a feel for the atmosphere and to get to know us as well as to find out if S.V. ’t KAG is the association for you.
