At American universities, numerous traditions take place that date back many years. Each university has its own unique traditions, in various forms and sizes. In this blog, we will tell you more about some of these significant traditions at American universities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Homecoming<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the most celebrated traditions at American universities is “homecoming.” It is an annual event where alumni return to their school. Often, homecoming coincides with a major American football game or a formal gala.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Game Day experience <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Attending a sports event at an American university is completely different from a sports event in the Netherlands. It is not just about the sport and the game itself but also about the entire experience surrounding it. Students and university fans often gather outside the stadium hours before the game for elaborate tailgate parties. During a tailgate, people barbecue, play games, and enjoy drinks. In short, there is a lot of festive atmosphere and camaraderie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rivalry between different universities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many American universities have a historic rivalry with other universities, especially in the realm of sports. Games between rival teams are often followed with great enthusiasm and pride by students, alumni, and supporters. An example of two rival universities is Harvard University and Yale University. Since 1875, an annual football game takes place between the schools in November. This game is also referred to as “The Game.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
