FOXFEST!

Ahoy, dear foxes!

September is just around the corner, and with it comes

a new school year. We have been preparing for your arrival for a long time to ensure that we can

welcome you in style. We look forward to seeing you on August 27-28, 2026, at the University of Life Sciences campus.

Timetable

Are you about to enter the University of Life Sciences, but don't know what exactly lies ahead and feel both excited and scared? Don't be scared and come and get to know your classmates, the other foxes and the campus!

FOXFEST will be waiting for you, the first day of which will be an orientation on the campus, which will help you to get to know your course mates as well as the clubs and societies active at the university. After the orientation, you can make memories and get to know your fellow students at the fox party, where all EEC students are welcome!

On the second day of FOXFEST, you'll get an overview of your discipline, your institute and other important things a first-year student should know, so even if the party goes long the day before, don't sleep in. As well as getting to know the university, in the afternoon you can also explore the city of Tartu on a city tour, followed by an afterparty.

Night time sightseeing

Freshers have the opportunity to discover some of Tartu students’ favourite spots together with their new coursemates on their very first Friday as university students — which also happens to be the last Friday of August.

Lots of awesome prizes will be given away among the participants!

The Student Union has put together a list of 10 of the coolest student spots in Tartu for new freshers to discover. Your goal is to visit as many of these locations as you like with your coursemates and capture your best memories with photos.

You do not have to visit every location, and there is no time limit. Pick the places that sound the most exciting to you and enjoy your first Friday as a university student — and the last Friday of August!
