- As the end academic year is a few short months away, it's time to reflect. What made YOUR year at UCM memorable?
  
  “My first year in Maastricht has been full of memories and milestones, but the most significant part of the experience for me has been my friends. This is the first time I’ve been part of a tight-knit group of peers who all care about each other and love to hang out, and it’s made my time here so much better. The best part is that we come from such diverse backgrounds, and yet we can all be close and enjoy each other’s company.”
  
  - Jasmine Brazelton, 1st year student

At Tiburon we don't just train, we also have lots of activities and weekends!! I have grown really close to other members and they feel like my second family♥️ Trainings and the activities/parties are the perfect break during studying! The most fun are the competition weekends!! Come and see for yourself sometime🏊🦈"
