Kick off week
During your first weeks you will have the opportunity to participate in a kick-off. This event takes place from the 23rd of August to the 1st of September. The kick-off is arrange every semester, for both Swedish and international students. It is a great chance for you to meet and get to know other students. The kick-off contain different types of fun activities that suites many different interests. For example: if you like water we present SWE (Sweden Water Event) which is the biggest water event in Scandinavia. If you are in to music there will be a sing-a-long-night with live music in the park next to the university. If you are in to sports there will different competitions and races. Jönköping University has its own nightclub with two dance floors, a lounge and nice prices in the three different bars. It is called Akademien and it will be open every night during the kick-off. During the semester it is open on Wednesdays and on Fridays afternoons they serve a nice tacobuffé for a good price.
There is a special tradition among students in Jönköping. During the kick-offs and most Wednesdays you wear an overall. The faculties have different colors: Health and Science – white, Engineering – yellow, International Business – green, Education and Communication – red and Media – blue. This overall you can by during the kick-off and it comes with some patches. It is a fun tradition and we really recommend you to take part of it.
