Student Hangout on Campus - OASIS

After an intense day of lectures, I tagged along a group of friends to Pinni B at City centre campus. We occupied the back row of bean bags, having a very serious discussion about 'how to react to the question "how are you?" '. Someone started to crochet a scarf for winter, and some decided to play Super Smash Bros. As one got a coffee and continued working on their laptop, we found out professors from the previous lectures were hanging out there as well - they were trying to finish a jigsaw puzzle left on a desk for a few days. And this all happens at OASIS – it’s an open space for all.

Don't Leave Home Without It: What to Bring When Moving to Tampere

Moving to Finland for studies is an exciting yet challenging endeavor, and it will be even more challenging if you aren’t prepared to move your life over here for the next couple of years. This was something that constantly ran through my mind as someone who was 1) moving away long-term from my home country for the first time ever; and 2) deathly afraid of being underprepared for anything. Hence, this blog was borne out of the paranoia I had before coming here, the experience I’ve had in my studies thus far, and the genuine desire to be of some help to all the new faces that will be gracing the campuses later this year (mostly this last one). Now, we won’t be listing every single item you should stuff into your luggage, but rather a few essentials (and a couple of surprises) that I think might make your transition to life in Tampere much smoother.
