Dutch student slang dictionary

What is Dutch student slang?

Dutch students have their own language. It is full of short words, abbreviations and traditions you will not find in any textbook. Some words come from drinking culture, like adten and bak trekken. Others come from student associations, like dispuut and KMT. Every city has its own words, but many of them are used all over the country. Dutch words get a "Dutch student slang" label, so you always know which ones you will only hear here.
