The same goes for the weather warming up. So, if you&#8217;re impatient with hands itching to go out in the evening after you are done with classes, here are some ideas on how you can spend those couple of hours and enjoy your day to the fullest!<\/p>\n<p>(Psssst, I also need to mention: we\u2019ve talked a lot about student associations and bars before. However, this blog is about the juice and water lovers. Or simply put &#8211; the activities highlighted are not necessarily involving alcohol, because having a great time doesn\u2019t mean having to drink, right?:D)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>For the Hungry<\/h2>\n<p>First things first &#8211; <strong>the food<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Strolling around the centre and the church is great for finding restaurants to dine in. However, if you\u2019re looking for something new or a different experience, I recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onderdelindenwageningen.nl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Onder de Linden<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deblaauwekamer.nl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">De Blaauwe Kamer<\/a>. <strong>Onder de Linden<\/strong> has a beautiful outside place with small, pretty lights and an outstanding interior, which makes it worth the visit and great to gather with friends. <strong>De Blaauwe Kamer<\/strong> is another extraordinary place. It is in the middle of nature, and with its beautiful views and arcade floor, it offers an experience more than just eating.<\/p>\n<p>Who\u2019s down for Boba? If you&#8217;re craving for something lighter, boba or <strong>bubble tea<\/strong> is popular amongst the students. Even more, when there is a bubble tea shop <strong>on campus<\/strong>. <a href=\"https:\/\/specialtea-bbt.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Specialtea<\/a> is my favourite place for those drinks, and even bringing friends from other cities can confirm it is reaaally good. The environment is nice and cosy, with calming music playing. Did you know about this place? Give it a try!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Gather Together &#8211; Cinema, Board Games and More<\/h2>\n<p>Wageningen might be a small city, but it has multiple <strong>movie theatres<\/strong>! Looking for a chill night, watching something and snacking, while sitting on comfortable fauteuils, swing by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heerenstraattheater.nl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Heerenstraat Theater<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/moview.nl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Movie W<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visummundi.nl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Visum Mundi<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you are a <strong>board game<\/strong> geek, Wageningen once again has the perfect fit for you &#8211; join the <a href=\"https:\/\/wageningenboardgamers.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wageningen Board Gamers<\/a>! Board and card game nights are organised in the evenings or late afternoons, where people meet and make new friends, sharing a common interest.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thuiswageningen.nl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thuis Wageningen<\/a> is a &#8220;public living room.&#8221; It\u2019s an open community-run space welcoming everyone, where you can enjoy hot tea while chatting with people, study, join the kitting cafe, and much more. Board game gatherings are also held there sometimes!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5810 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/weblog.wur.eu\/international-students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/07\/DSC00910-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"cultures of WUR\" width=\"648\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/weblog.wur.eu\/international-students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/07\/DSC00910-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/weblog.wur.eu\/international-students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/07\/DSC00910-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/weblog.wur.eu\/international-students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/07\/DSC00910-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/weblog.wur.eu\/international-students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/07\/DSC00910-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/weblog.wur.eu\/international-students\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2023\/07\/DSC00910.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 648px) 100vw, 648px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Pool Night!<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Billiards<\/strong> is always fun, and I was so happy to find out there are pool tables in Wageningen. <a href=\"https:\/\/poolcafe-infinity.nl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Poolvereniging Infinity<\/a> is a place I visit from time to time with friends when craving a competitive but playful night.
