At regular intervals, I get the feeling that, heck, this is so cool! I have no trouble believing the mantra the teachers keep trumpeting about how studying here is the best time in their lives for many students.

When the temperature drops below zero, this athletics field in Otaniemi is frozen into a skating rink. This is an excellent way to unwind and clear my mind of too many thoughts.

After I returned from student exchange to my studies in Finland, KY-Speksi at the School of Business introduced me to the theatre and band scene. There I have felt that I can be involved in things totally as my own self.

This is the first time I’m riding a bike in this cold weather. As I have become the first-time champion of winter biking today, I can share my best tips.

I was hanging out at my friend's place. When we could not find a Rubik's Cube we went in search of one from a neighbour. We ended up chatting with the neighbour about skateboarding. An hour later, we had decided to establish Aalto Skate.

I moved to Finland to study information and service economy and advanced data analysing. I though that I could take this as a fresh start so I decided to try a lot of things I had never tried before.

It is important to teach not only in-depth expertise and skills but also broad-scoped expertise and skills. We want the Aaltonaut Bachelor’s Minor Programme to offer an opportunity for interdisciplinary study early on in a student's studies.

My thesis progressed at the same pace as this little guy grew in my spouse's tummy. For the last week I got to write in the company of the world's sweetest little boy, who acted as my source of inspiration.

It is likely that not nearly everyone who studies here in Otaniemi is aware that they study at a masterpiece of modern architecture. A great many tourists from around the world visit Otaniemi each year to see the buildings.
