Eikenhof vorm deel van die Universiteit van Stellenbosch se onderskeie PSO groepe wat sodoende deelneem aan alle Universiteitsbedrywighede, oriënteringsweek, sportspanne, ens.
Eerstejaar studente van Eikenhof Hostel word gedurende die oriënteringsweek soggens deur die Huiskomitee na die onderskeie PSO’s vergesel vir o.a besoeke aan die verskillende fakulteite, registrasie, bekendstelling aan die universiteit asook die akademiese prosedures van die universiteit, en in-skakeling met ander koshuise.
Saans word byeenkomste in Eikenhof Hostel gehou om koshuisreëls, die huiskomitee en medestudente beter te leer ken. Dit is ‘n baie vol program, maar aan die einde van die week stem almal saam dat dit die moeite werd was.
Eikenhof verskaf nie etes nie, ons het wel ‘n kontrak met ‘n Spysenieringsmaatskappy wat onafhanklik van die koshuis vir ons gesonde, gebalanseerde voedsel met voorkeure (bv Diabetes, ens) daagliks aflewer. Indien u gekeur word, sal hierdie volledige inligting later aan u deurgegee word.
Ons is baie trots op die kultuur van meelewing en kameraadskap wat oor baie jare in Eikenhof gevestig is en juis daarom is ons studente volwaardige en volwasse dames in die ware sin van die woord.
