The organisers aim to discourage sexual activity among students by prohibiting condoms at the freshers’ camp of a BME faculty. BME, or Budapest University of Technology and Economics, is a leading technical and economics Hungarian university.

The freshers’ camp of BME’s Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Informatics (VIK) started this Tuesday in Bodajk, a small village in Fejér County, close to Budapest. According to 444.hu, the camp’s organisers asked all participants not to bring condoms to the event.

Additionally, the organisers of the freshers’ camp of the Hungarian university banned drinks exceeding two litres in volume, aerosol deodorants, nail clippers, small scissors, safety razors, aluminium canned drinks, and energy drinks. They requested adherence to these rules to ensure a safe and undisturbed camping experience.

Given that it is a freshers’ camp, one might assume such rules to be a prank. However, they are not. When 444.hu contacted the student union of the Hungarian university, they received a surprising response. The union chairman of the Hungarian university confirmed that these rules are taken very seriously. The organisers believe that if students are unable to obtain condoms, they are less likely to engage in sexual activity during the camp.

Sex should be avoided at the freshers’ camp of the Hungarian university

Kristóf Radácsi, the student union’s chairman, acknowledged that condoms are crucial in preventing unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases. “However, we believe that avoiding sexual intercourse altogether is even more effective,” he stated in a response sent to 444.hu. He emphasised that the camp’s organisers are reminding students that sexual activity should be avoided.

The organisers did not disclose how they intend to monitor students’ behaviour. However, they mentioned that they are closely supervising the entertainment and social activities of all students of the Hungarian university, even during their free time. Radácsi admitted that their rules are stricter than usual but believes that this approach will ensure students leave the camp with positive memories.

The camp rules were jointly established by the Hungarian university, the student union, and the security company overseeing the event. Radácsi explained that, in addition to banning alcohol and mind-altering substances, they have also prohibited items capable of causing bodily harm. According to 444.hu, hundreds of participants are attending the camp.
