Creative student cultureTeekkarit,or students who study technology-related subjects, are known for their active role in student life. Easily recognised by their overalls, the ‘Teekkarit’ organise all kinds of activities from parties to formals, publishing the Labour Day magazine and, of course, plan practical jokes for which they have become well known.

Killat (guilds)The Otaniemi campus is one of Finland's richest when it comes to student culture: students in every faculty or programme have organised themselves into organisations, or guilds, according to their area of study. In the 'killat', students can enjoy hobbies, organise parties, participate in various events, spend time and get to know other students.
