Located at the hectic traffic junction of the Sterre, the Astrid seems like an oasis of calm in Ghent. Nothing could be further from the truth, an achievement for this home with only five floors! Home Astrid is a relatively small association where everyone knows everyone else, but what makes them especially different is that they live together, a bit like a family. Members cook, party, eat, learn, play sports together and so much more! There is also resident assistance and regular meetings with the university about any innovations at the home. Every year, there is a brand-new, enthusiastic praesidium ready to help the residents. They organise spectacular parties, chill bar nights, unforgettable cantuses and a good dose of sports and cultural activities. So there is something for everyone! These activities bring the residents of the home together and so golden friendships are formed. The Astrid residents don't just attend their own activities. With the ribbon around their shoulder, they always make sure they are well represented. When exams are finally around the corner, the home council shuts down its activities. Study is then given full priority. The solarium (top floor) is then set up as a study area and proves to be very popular among the homers.
