Have you noticed a meditating student brain on campus or in social media? If so, you have probably seen the TimeOut logo.
Time Out's logo is the charming mascot "Brian the student brain", created by Karolina Linkyte, student in Visual Communication at Campus Drammen.
Being a student means there is always a lot that needs to be done. Much time is spent attending lectures, writing assignments, and cramming for tests. It is easy to forget to take a break – or a TimeOut – sometimes.
What and who is TimeOut?
TimeOut is a group of students who work through SSN with planning and arranging events for other students on all USN campuses. These are people who know what it is like to be a student today, because they are all students themselves, and whose goal is to create a good environment for everyone.

SSN + funds from KD = TimeOut :)
In March 2021, all the Norwegian student welfare organisations received a total of NOK 78.5 million from the Ministry of Education (KD) to employ students to initiate social initiatives.
SSN spends its allocated funds on TimeOut, which has become a small company in itself, with as many as 33 employees! In addition, SSN collaborates with DigiPluss, a student company that also creates (digital) activities for students.
Find events that suit you
It is very likely that you will find events that suit you. Among this summer’s events were pizza at Peppes Pizza, a hiking trip to Preikestolen, role-play evenings, cabin trips, a paintball tournament, beach days, movie nights, a photography course, and much more.
TimeOut representatives are present on all USN campuses and come from many different fields of study. In addition to physical events, TimeOut also offer a variety of digital ones – how about incorporating a digital quiz night into your study week, or perhaps a cooking course tailored specifically to a student budget?
