A friend who studies architecture and myself have a shared gardening plot in Otaniemi. We grow pumpkin, radish, kale, mint and flowers.

Since my bicycle was stolen a couple years ago, I have travelled my commutes in the Helsinki Metropolitan area on foot. The commute from Arabianranta to Otaniemi does not take much longer on foot than when sitting in a bus.

I'm an interior architect by profession, but I often find that my role is that of a bridge builder. For example, as part of my MA studies, I鈥檓 creating a concept for brand storytelling at Iittala's Asian retail locations.

We have been the first in Finland to build nanosatellites, and, now, we are looking further ahead. However, what I'm waiting for most from the future is completely new and unexpected innovations.

In our guild, we organise all kinds of events, and my favourite among them is聽鈥淜otimaan pitk盲鈥澛(鈥楾he long tour of Finland鈥). We spend three days touring Finland in a bus getting to know different workplaces in our field.

Minut valittiin juuri AYY:n hallitukseen. Opiskelijayhteis枚 on niin hieno, ett盲 olen jo vuoden ajan tehnyt ylioppilaskunnan ja killan kautta vapaaehtoishommia sen puolesta.

I love the weather, my professors and my apartment here in Otaniemi. I planned to study here at Aalto University for half a year only, but after a few months I realised it would be better for my future to stay here.

Maarit Hannula
I've grown very enthusiastic about lean startup thinking. I am putting together a change agent group here at Smartum, which will be tasked with eliminating obstacles and simplifying meticulous testing and flexible work.

Maija Gulin
There are many international students at Aalto University. It would be nice, if these students could help highlight different cultures more prominently on campus.

Riina Jokiranta
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.

Anna-Leena Hetem盲ki
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.

Mike Prisikar
This is the first time I鈥檓 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.

Oskari P盲ivinen
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聽Aalto Skate.

Olga Gorskikh
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.

Leigh Ewin
I鈥檓 currently exploring how certain devices and sensors can enhance our daily lives. My dream is to help to create an environment, where we are motivated, feeling happy and energised.

Elina K盲hk枚nen
It is important to teach not only in-depth expertise and skills but also broad-scoped expertise and skills. We want the聽Aaltonaut Bachelor鈥檚 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.
