Tampere University of Technology

Hey,

It's been a while. School has kept me very busy. I don't know much about American college life but I bet it differs from the Finnish one.

I'm currently studying bioengineering (biotechnology) in Tampere University of Technology (TUT). Right now I'm only studying the basics: Math, Physics and Chemistry. I did have a laboratory class - it was cool! There are 30 freshmen who study bioengineering. I've made many new friends!

I'm already accepted to the Master's programme. In five years I'd finish my studies and graduate. That won't happen, though, because I'm applying to the University of Medicine next spring again.

TUT is known for its colorful student life. We wear overalls (well, every university student in Finland does...) and a hat that looks similar to my graduation hat. Freshmen will become official students next May Day (1st of May) when they are dipped into rapids in a big basket. The water is NOT warm :D We have our own sauna at the school where we spend time.

There are also many clubs and other hobbies for students at TUT. I'm currently in choir and in volleyball club. I'm really looking forward to singing in our Christmas concerts!

Physics, Chemistry and Math...These are the books I have to read for my entrance exam.
