We are looking for you!

Do you want to make more of student life than just studying and sleeping? Then join now the very best student union in Zeeland! We are Aqua ad Vinum, also known as AAV and THE student association for everyone studying at the "HZ University of Applied Sciences" and we are looking for you! Are you in your first year, or have you been at HZ a little longer? We want to make your student time unforgettable through awesome parties and activities. Every month phenomenal theme parties are organized such as: 'Tight on Cash', 'Wrong on Safari', 'Flirt Night' and of course 'Neon Party'. In doing so, our Society (in Middelburg) is open every Tuesday and Thursday. So there is always something fun to do!

Outside of all the partying, we also organize incredibly fun activities. So you can play pool, bowl, paintball and do many more fun activities together with your friends from AAV. We also organize The Midwinter Camp, where we take a weekend in the Ardennes and we party until the sun rises again, you don't want to miss that, do you?

So would you now like to broaden your social circles or meet new people if you just moved here? Then sign up soon because at AAV you are never alone!

Perhaps also nice to know is that we have no hazing for new members. Everyone is welcome: "Nothing must, everything is allowed!"



As Aqua ad Vinum, we provide the best activities and parties inside and outside of Middelburg that even reach beyond the borders of our small country. These events and parties are not to be missed!

    When I moved to Zeeland I didn't know anyone and I wanted to change that soon and what better way to do that than with a student union! Aqua ad vinum immediately appealed to me because of the motto "nothing must everything may." Also, there is no hazing which I liked. I went along for intro camp and was nicely received into the group! Met so many great new people we now rock the soos with every week. When I was asked to help organize the midwinter camp, my answer was also immediately yes! What became an unforgettable camp. Because of Aav, my student life has become a lot more fun and sociable!

    When I joined AAV, I wondered if it would be for me. What would the people be like here? Would it be fun? Things like that I wondered. Once I got there and got to know people, I knew I had nothing to worry about. Everyone there is incredibly friendly and enthusiastic, especially to new members. Now I have been there for several months and I know I never want to leave!

    When I went to college, I hardly knew anyone. I heard from a few people that there was a student union without hazing and with lots of fun. This was about AAV. I walked up to some people during the open house and the choice was quickly made, I had to and would be in AAV. Any regrets? No way!!! Surely AAV is 1 of the best choices I have made. Lots of new friends and bins of fun evenings.

    When I decided to room in Middelburg, I thought it was important to get to know new people in this region and experience student life. Because of the intro week, I got interested in going to the soos sometime, and I've had a great time ever since! You quickly feel at home because of the great members and you also quickly get involved in fun activities/committees. Cozy games or a night out with fun music, at AAV you will experience all of this. I have been there for almost 1.5 years now and in this time I have met the nicest people!
