Student life and free time
Once you are settled and paperwork is done it’s time to enjoy your time here at EBS and in Estonia. Below you will find an overview of different school activities and possibilities, as well as recommendations to discover Estonia.
Erasmus Student Network (ESN) EBS
ESN EBS is part of EBS Student Council. ESN EBS will contact you directly before your exchange period starts, to offer you guidance, information and to connect you with other exchange students. Every exchange student has the option to get a tutor/buddy by ESN EBS. A tutor is an EBS student who will help exchange students with all the practical everyday matters during their stay in Tallinn. ESN EBS also organizes different events for the exchange students during the semester, ranging from pub crawls to quiz nights to trip to Lapland to volunteer work. There is something for everybody.
Head of ESN EBS is Ms Helena Reimo (helena.reimo@ebs.ee).
EBS exchange students can also participate in ESN Tallinn activities, more info can be found here.
EBS Student Council
EBS Student Council is the heart of EBS: they organize events, share information, stand for student rights and opinions and offer support where needed.
Beside Student Council and ESN EBS we have also Sports Club and Investment Club. Exchange students are welcomed to join them either by participating in the events or become one of the organisers. More information can be found here: ebsikas.
You can also find them in our social media: Facebook, Instagram, Youtube and TikTok.
