A university in the Netherlands built a fake tomb to help students have a place to reflect, to calm down under the pressure of study.

Radboud University in Nijmegen, Gelderland province built a grave in the back of the student chapel, under which there are blankets, yoga mats and pillows under which students can experience the "feeling of the dead".

Students can come here to practice yoga, meditate or lie thinking about life and the meaning of their existence. The experience in the grave can last a minimum of 30 minutes and a maximum of three hours depending on the registration of each student.

This particular project became famous at Radboud University with posters everywhere titled "memento mori", in Latin meaning "remember that you will die". Many students said that if they wanted to experience the feeling of being under this grave, they had to fill in a long waiting list.

"My roommate and I were planning to experience this tomb more than a week ago. However, when we arrived we discovered quite a lot of people had already registered to wait. We will definitely return soon to spread it out. ", student Sean McLaughlin shared.

According to the founder of the project John Hacking, this "fake death" experience not only helps students feel calm, reduces test pressure, but also helps them value their lives more.
