It was a serious challenge to get it all organised in a coronaproof way, but we managed it thanks to the efforts of lots of students and members of staff.<\/p>\n<p>Students were welcomed by their faculties in smaller groups back in the week of 14 September. The Orientation Days were designed to fit in with the faculties\u2019 welcome activities wherever possible. This year, the Orientation Days for first-year students at the Stadscampus took place in and around Antwerp instead of at De Hoge Rielen. Even in these corona times, one of the classic elements of the Orientation Days in Wilrijk kept its spot on the programme: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/VerkenningsdagenUAntwerpen\/posts\/3329891957046948\"><strong>the dance initiation with Davy Brocatus<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The students also used their creative sides to find alternatives to their traditional opening activities.
