Have you ever wondered if the grass is greener somewhere else? Have you ever considered going abroad, studying, or even both? If so, studying abroad might be the perfect option for you!

Come to the Otaranta Rooftop Sauna on Monday, November 11th, starting at 5:00 PM, to learn about the opportunities for going on exchange offered by the university. You'll also hear experiences from TiK and FK students who have been on exchange.

You also get to hear about the international Unite! joint programs!

The event is free, and you can bring your own drinks for the sauna. The event will be also streamed online so if you want to join remotely or don't make it to the quota, you can watch the presentations remotely!

The last Alkorytmi SMS Board of the year is collecting reader submissions, for example, about lost items, the highs and lows of the day, and discoveries in the neighborhood!

For many, Alkorytmi’s SMS Board is a source of entertainment, but it has also earned its place as a reliable gauge of the public’s mood and opinions. In the SMS Board, you can openly express criticism, share your thoughts, and offer your insights.

🔥 Submit your entry here 🔥

The deadline for submissions to make it into the next issue is Tuesday, November 12th.
