Report from VŠE Bomba Party

On Wednesday 25 September 2024, the opening party of the academic year 2024/25 VŠE Bomba Party was held, organized by the ESN VSE Prague student organization. The event built on the previous successful edition and even improved on last year’s record attendance.

Over 1700 VŠE students and their friends visited OX Club Prague to celebrate the start of the new academic year together. After last year’s sold-out edition, the capacity of the OX Club in Vinohrady was expanded by a third stage and the adjacent restaurant, but this year the entire capacity was sold out during the online pre-sale, with only a limited number of tickets available on site. Representatives of all six faculties of VŠE came to enjoy the event, and groups of students from the Faculty of Management in Jindřichův Hradec did not miss the celebrations. Some students came dressed in the colours of their faculties, they also showed their affiliation by colourful facial emblems and university merchandise. In addition to students of Czech study programmes, foreign language programmes were also represented, a large group of foreign students studying at the VŠE under the Erasmus+ programme.

The event started at 7 pm this year, with VŠE CREW members organizing a get-together (not only) for first-year students in a restaurant connected to the OX Club. The gates to the club then opened at 9pm, when the music started on all three stages. Fans of various musical styles were in attendance, with pop and rap music complementing the variety of electronic music genres, while the third stage, located in the underground OX Bar, focused on oldies and hits from the last century. At midnight, all visitors were entertained and danced by VŠE CREW, whose members performed a midnight surprise on the main stage. A total of 11 DJs performed at the event, almost half of them were VŠE alumni, and the entertainment was kept going until 5am.

The event received positive feedback, with visitors able to recall the festive evening in photos taken by two professional photographers, as well as an aftermovie. For a full photo report of the aftermovie, visit the Nation2Nation Facebook page. Off campus, students can meet each other at other major university events, VŠE Talent competition and the VŠE Ball, to which all visitors were invited by large posters at the entrance of the club.

The organisers from ESN VŠE Prague thank you for the support shown and would be happy to welcome visitors to any of the upcoming events.
