Our promise
A plug-and-play solution for student well-being, retention
and internationalization.
Increase student well-being
71,4 % of the Goin’ users says that their stress level reduced by using Goin’ before their arrival. Social connections established before arrival reduce the stress that comes with moving abroad and prevents loneliness and isolation.
Increase internationalization
By reducing the social distance for (international) students, Goin’ makes your university more accessible for international students while the international reputation increases.
Increase retention rates
Research shows that the chance on a drop-out is reduced by 28% if students have a social network in their city of residence. Moreover, a student with social connections is 90% more likely to stay.
Involve students directly after application
Get grip on your students directly with Goin’. By including students directly to your community, you can reach out to them 3 months earlier leading to many cost efficiencies. .
Increase word-of-mouth marketing
With Goin’, students are already part of your university when still in their home country. This results in very strong positive word-of-mouth leading to the attraction of more international students. 95,2 % of Goin’ users would recommend Goin’ to their home-town university.
Be more attractive to new students
Let students choose for your university by comforting them with social connections right away. 76,2% of the Goin’ users say that in their view Goin’ is a competitive advantage for the university as they are more likely to choose a university by having Goin’.
How badly do you want your students to feel welcome?
It is kinda scary to go somewhere new completely alone, so the ability to connect with other people makes it easier in my opinion!

It’s great to be able to meet people of my class before the courses even begin. I was very stressed these last months, but Goin’ helped a lot. Thanks for this awesome idea! Cheers, Lisa

Goin’ is an amazing idea, it’s great to meet new people before arriving to NL. I like it a lot!

It’s just a comfortable feeling that you already know people before you have the introduction day.

I was just curious to see who would be my future classmates. But I also loved Goin’ for the groups and events, they were an easy way to find like-minded students.

MSc. Student 2018/2019 from Denmark
As for me, when I heard about Goin’, it first gave me the feeling I’m coming in an University where everything seems well organized. And it’s so cool to talk with people I will be able to meet there, it’s seems easier for integration. I found it so cool and very practical 🙂
Emma
French Exchange Student HU - Spring 2021
If I knew that I would be in a classroom with two other people from Hamburg, my whole arrival would have been way easier.
Ayelen Behrens
MSc. Student 2018/2019 from Germany
The app gives me a better feeling because I can connect with people before the exchange starts. So I don’t feel lost when coming to NL.
Max Kopp
German Exchange Student HU - Spring 2021
I really like the app, and the idea of it. I believe in these times, it’s more important than ever, to have the chance to meet our fellow student, and get to know them, since this is no longer an option between classes and breaks. The app can surely help with getting to know people, and I already found some who I will meet by the time I will be in Utrecht.
Patrik Timmer
Hungarian Exchange Student HU - Spring 2021
Goin’ is great! Especially now, when most courses at university are online anyway, you have to find other ways to connect with people. And you already feel more comfortable because you already know some colleagues before even arriving 🙂
Andrea
Austrian Student - Spring 2021
Goin’ gives me the feeling that we won’t be all alone in Utrecht and that is especially important these times 🙂
Carmen
Spanish Exchange Student HU - Spring 2021
Via Goin’ I met other German students who also went to Utrecht. We even found an appartment together!
Yannick Moosmüller
MSc. Student 2018/2019 from Germany
I think the whole idea is amazing. I have connected with people from both the country I’m living and also people of my same degree program. It is nice to have some sort of connection so that when we get there we don’t feel like we are completely alone. This platform should absolutely also be used by my home university!
Martha Ketonen
Mexican Exchange Student in Utrecht Spring 2021
I believe that this initiative is a very nice and helpful idea! Due to the current situation with Covid I have decided to choose a study program which is offered 100% online. So it is very nice and helpful that I have still been able to get to know some people, who are also going to study the same program 100% online!
Pauline
German Student at Hogeschool Utrecht
I am really happy about Goin’. I really like the concept of this app and have already met other people from the same course, which I think that helps a lot with preparing for the exchange, and also to provide more possibilities to meet other people and make more fun about it 🙂
Selja Ramsten
Finnish Student at Utrecht University of Applied Sciences (HU)
Thanks so much for this initiative, a very great idea. It helped me a lot to find and chat with other exchange students. Actually, I have already spoken with some, and we planned to meet in person in NL. So the app is working well!
Catherine Roche
French Exchange Student
Goin’ is great! I can connect with other students by using it, and I am so glad that I found a student who is going to study the same program with me. I am looking forward to the adventure with her in Utrecht 🙂
Yi-Rou Chang
Taiwanese Student at HU Spring 2021
I think this app is very useful to connect with other students and get to meet them before even landing to Netherlands!
Pyry Tenho
Finnish Student in Utrecht 2020/2021
Goin’ helped me so much to integrate! Via Goin’, I made new friends and found my future roommates before my arrival, can’t wait to meet new people here!
Coline
French Exchange Student at Utrecht University of Applied Sciences 2021
I installed this App yesterday and before I was really worried if I‘ll even be able to make many friends due to Covid-Measures. But registering here I realized, everyone feels the same way and is really trying to connect, thus it made me feel a lot better. Therefore I find the App really awesome, it helped me to feel more secure about my decision to go abroad 🙂 so thank you!
Anna
Swiss student going to Utrecht
Goin’ is a great initiative that facilitates the way to meet people. The introduction week is online this year and the app allowed us to find and meet others also going to this university instead of only our classmates.
