Hey, my name is Rick and I study Sociology and Philosophy. I was born in Leeuwarden but have been living for over three years in the most beautiful student city in the Netherlands. I play football for Groengeel and work at the Vaatje, but above all, I can call myself the Chairman of Dizkartes this year. So I know better than anyone how important it is for students to have the space for self-development alongside their studies.

Furthermore, I live in a large student house where we have been suffering from unscrupulous landlord practices for years. This has led me to want to advocate for tenants in the same situation as I am in.

I also have a lot of experience within the Groningen nightlife, and sadly I still see many things that can and must improve. I want to advocate for a fun, but especially safe nightlife.
