| About half of all university students in the Netherlands suffer from mental health issues, according to a recent survey. Reason enough for DUB to dedicate an entire print magazine to the topic. But who better than students themselves to talk about the things that trouble them? That's why we invited them to be the journalists this time. You can pick up your magazine (in Dutch) all around the campus and read the same articles in English on our website. For a complete overview of our news and articles, visit dub.uu.nl/en.
