About us


Arriving at the university also means dealing with a lot of different procedures. Finding where to stay, getting to know the life at campus or the places nearby are some of the problems the incoming students have to deal with. TUC: out of the box was created for every student coming to TUC as a free mover or on an exchange programme. Here are the main sections that this website covers: University with general information about the institution, Campus Life with information about the life on campus like the cafeterias or the halls and Chania 4u with information and photos of places in Chania.


EMBLEM & TUC: OUT OF THE BOX.


...
The emblem of the University represents Daedalus, an architect and inventor in Greek mythology, to whom are attributed great primordial works of architecture and sculpture. His art was said to be so exquisite that his statues looked like they would come to life and start moving. Daedalus was said to have manufactured, among others, the exemplary labyrinth for King Minos of Crete. Later, he fell into dismay with King Minos and was imprisoned inside his most perfect of his works, the labyrinth. It was then that he built wings out of wax for his son Icarus as well as himself. Icarus however flew too close to the sun and fell to his death when his wax wings melted. Minos pursued Daedalus to Sicily and was killed there by the daughters of Cocalus, the king of the Sicani, with whom Daedalus was staying. After having studied the emblem, we decided to take the Daedalus out of his workshop, "out of the box", and draw him right before taking-off, where he is about to fly to new possibilities and adventures, just like the students at TUC.
