Living in a student residence has many advantages, especially for the festive season. One of the main reasons is the warm atmosphere created by Christmas decorations and the enthusiasm of tenants at this time of year.
Christmas in student residences
Student residences are decked out in their finest Christmas decorations. Hallways and common rooms are decorated with garlands, Christmas trees and lights. All you have to do is decorate your own student accommodation. During this period, student residences organize special parties and activities for students, such as themed evenings, giving tenants the chance to meet their neighbors and make new friends. If you're away from home and family, living in a student residence will offer you a supportive community, as many students also stay at home during the vacations. This can help you feel less alone at the end of the year.
In its student residences, FAC-HABITAT organizes Christmas snacks, chocolate giveaways, "ugly Christmas sweater" contests (the most kitsch) and much more!
Our special holiday DIYs
- Paper garlands: use colored paper to create festive garlands. Cut Christmas shapes like stars, fir trees or bells, then assemble them into garlands to decorate your walls.
- Window decorations: use erasable markers to create Christmas designs on your windows, such as snowflakes, snowmen or messages like "Merry Christmas".
- Door wreath: gather branches, pine cones and colorful ribbons to create a door wreath.
- Tree ornaments: make your own ornaments using salt dough, papier-mâché or family photos.
- Strings of lights: use strings of lights to create a warm atmosphere. You can wrap them around your shelves, door frame or bed frame.
