Regionals allow students to meet other students from their region. They transmit their local folklore to other members of the University through the organization of all kinds of activities (tastings, banquets, exhibitions, city tours, ...).
16 regional groups exist at UCLouvain.
They are gathered within the Fédération Wallonne des Régionales de l'UCLouvain (commonly called "Fédé").
