Student organizations

The city of Trondheim has a significant presence of students, and this has given a clear mark on the city. The most famous student organization is the Studentersamfundet i Trondhjem, also known as "the red round house" after its architectural form; every second year it organizes the cultural festival UKA. Another festival organized by students is the International Student Festival in Trondheim ISFiT, which among other things awards a student peace prize. The sports organization, NTNUI, has many members in its many branches, the main ones being orienteering, cross-country and telemark skiing; it also finds room for sports less common in Norway, like American football and aikido. A cabin and cottage organization owns lots of cabins in the countryside available for students wishing to spend a few days away. There are also student fraterneties, some of which conduct voluntary hazing rituals, devoted to contact with potential employers and for social interaction between students. There are also alumni associations; religious and political organizations; clubs devoted to various topics such as innovation, human rights, beer, oatmeal, anime and computers; and The Association for Various Associations parodying the large number of organizations.
