LEIP! stands for: 'Leeuwarden First Year Introduction Period’. The Dutch word LEIP also means weird/crazy. The LEIP! week is the general introduction period for all  students in Leeuwarden. During this week you will meet a lot of new students, maybe even new friends and you will get to know all aspects of Leeuwarden and student life, such as sports, culture and student associations.

LEIP! is organized by an introduction board consisting of five students together with five committees, which also consist of students. They are supported by employees of Leeuwarden Student City.

LEIP! is intended for all first-year students who study in Leeuwarden. The master students who come to Leeuwarden are also welcome. LEIP! can also be visited by international students (if you are an international student, you can be placed in a 'mixed group': a group with Dutch and English students).
