Off we go!
World-class education, lifelong friendships, and excellent job prospects: first-semester students at ETH have high expectations.
Monday, 19 September 2016, shortly after sunrise. Maps, mobiles and notepads in hand, hundreds of first-semester students are getting off the tram and heading for the ETH main building in search of the right lecture halls for their welcome event. Most of them pick up a goodie bag from the Association of Students at ETH (VSETH) on the way. They’re now ready for their first day at ETH Zurich.
Eight of the 2,843 new students took a minute to share what they expect from their time at ETH and how they are feeling as it’s all about to begin.
