TacoCat’s Travels (Finland) #4: First day of school!

in #steempress6 years ago (edited)


12 March 2018. Monday.

It's the first day of school for us here at Aalto University, Mikkeli! The campus itself is actually pretty small; it's just two 3-storey buildings, even smaller than our NUS business school. I guess that's to be expected since the cohorts here are like 4x smaller too.


The main building where all the classrooms and the canteen is


The library

The 2 buildings are just across the road from each other too so it's really convenient. In NUS we have 2 big ass buildings and a library and it takes some time walking from one end to the other.


The canteen/cafeteria! It def looks much better than the NUS biz canteen 😑

Anyway, we were taking different classes for this first module but they were at the same time (9am-12pm) so we were in different classrooms for 3 hours. My classroom was so cool because there were desktops hidden underneath it and you could flip it open to use them if you didn't have a laptop!


The main building also had quite a few study rooms for students to have group discussions, or just hangout. Some of them had desktops, some even had a TV in them! It made me wish I had brought my Switch dock so we could hook it up and play in school. 😕

After class we met up for lunch in the cafeteria and it was buffet-style, kinda like how they're always shown in American TV shows. So there's a set menu every day that included salad, bread, a main dish, some carbs and gravy/soup. Tbh it wasn't that great, but it's cheap and convenient so we ate there just a few times. Most times we would go home after school to cook lunch.


We cooked rice w hot dogs, steamed egg and boiled vegs w potatoes!

That's all for now! Thanks for reading!
