  1. Aug 29th, 2017. The day 1: Welcome Fair
  2. I was supposed to be there but I could not, because I was rejected to be on the board for a flight... I had planned to make it in time, but it became a total mess because of the rejection... (Around the time there were terrorist attacks and Finland border became strict, stupid me did not have my residence permit with me.)

    I heard they did all the administrative stuff here.

    1. They received a student certificate so that they can buy a public transport pass, which is also expensive otherwise.
    2. Also Student Union Joining. 50euro.
    3. Student Union, for example, has a smartphone app. You can use it in Cafeteria and get a student discount.
    4. They recieved a user account and password for the university computer system. eg. subject registration, wifi.
    5. Immigration stuff.
    6. Local SIM card.
