The student social committee organizes many social and cultural activities on and off campus such as the Cultural Night, theme dinner parties, quiz nights, disco evenings and more. The Café du Village (also called CDV) is a focal point for running these events.

Students also enjoy going out for a meal or a drink at “Le Petit Paradis”, a local establishment, or to Crans-Montana which is only 10 minutes away from the campus and which abounds with restaurants, clubs, bars and shops.

One of the highlights of each semester is “Cultural Night” consisting of an evening of entertainment and culinary specialties. Students from all countries are invited to participate in the entertainment show whereby they depict aspects of their own culture. Following the show, there is a chance to taste a variety of exotic foods prepared by the students representing their country.

Traditional costumes, musical instruments, tapes, slides, photos, posters, etc are all items that are important contributions towards this event.

The full-time sports coach helps students maintain a balanced and healthy lifestyle during their time on campus. Depending upon the season, students can participate in such sports as volleyball, basketball or swimming. There is an on-campus gym and fitness center, where they can use the equipment free of charge. In winter, students can ski, snowboard, toboggan or skate.

A few minutes away is Crans-Montana, one of Switzerland’s leading ski resorts which regularly hosts World Championships and many World Cup races. In the summer it organizes a full calendar of events, including the Swiss Open – a major golf tournament on the European Masters Tour, in which, several students help with this event.

So, if you are tempted by some sports you have never tried before, lessons and equipment rental can be easily arranged.
