Home Vermeylen is also located on the Overpoort - next to the Fabiola - and houses a whopping 456 residents! The eight-storey home also has all facilities for students with disabilities. This home also houses the on-call service and the reception where you can go with badge/key problems. The Housing Department also has its offices here. The beautiful garden of the home is the ideal place to relax when the weather is nice. If you do want to be inside, the home council offers plenty of activities. Occasionally a movie night takes place, in addition to the weekly relaxation evenings and parties. The homeraad also has a lot to offer culturally: big-screen football, paintball and our own festival are just some of the many things on offer. The home is named after August Vermeylen, professor, literary jack-of-all-trades and co-founder of ‘Van nu en Straks’. Our August was also the first rector of the Dutch-speaking Ghent University (1930).
