About Us

ESN Reykjavík was founded back in 2007 by the International Students's Association in the University of Iceland. The idea was that it would both benefit the organization and the international students of Reykjavík to be a part of something bigger, stronger and obviously way cooler like ESN. To make a long story short, they were right!

ESN Reykjavík works under the main principles of ESN International. We foster student mobility by taking part in the International level of ESN but most importantly by doing our best to intergrate international students into the Icelandic university community. We work closely with the Student Union on the buddy / mentoring system and collectivly try to find ways to make it better.

Our mission is to make your stay in Iceland an unforgettable experience. Therefore we offer numerous trips and activites each semester and weekly parties where you can meet your international comrades over a beer or two (or three!). We are always open to suggestions so if you have an idea, go nuts and send it to us.

Finally, although we are officially a student organization working out of the University of Iceland we welcome all students in higher education in Reykjavík. By buying the ESN card you get discounts of all our trips plus awesome deals with the coolest companies in town. So as you can see, you definitely want to hang with us this winter!

The board of ESN Reykjavík 2009/2010 looks forward to welcoming you in Reykjavík!
