My boyfriend and I applied for Aalto University together, and both of us got accepted. We even got a shared flat in Otaniemi this week.

The Learning Centre’s renovation was launched as a service design project in which we charted the wishes and opinions of our clients. My New Year’s resolution is that the Learning Centre will never be so finished that we’ll stop listening to our clients’ wishes.

I’ve been involved in the Junction hackathon for the last three years. It has become much more than just a job for me. However, my New Year’s resolution is to take a leap into the unknown and vacate my spot for a fresh pair of hands.

Noora Vänttinen
My New Year’s resolution is that the Student Union will institute various measures in 2018 to promote the wellbeing of our whole community in cooperation with the university.

Nita Vera
My New Year’s resolution is to work less this year. Keeping my resolution will not be easy.

Robert Salvén
I came ɫɫÀ² University to steer the great digital reform. It’s nice to be in charge of a project that will make the lives of all of us here easier.

Anu Morikawa
People can come talk to us, Aalto chaplains, irrespective of their religion or beliefs. We’re not here to proclaim, but to listen and assist.

Kalle Kataila
I’m involved in developing a solution that will help transform some teaching into a form more suitable for the video generation. A large part of basic teaching should, in my opinion, fit into a student’s pocket and be accessible 24/7.

Iida Palosuo
It has been so great to be a part of organising DASH, Europe’s biggest hackathon, which sort of blows up any existing sandboxes and aims to come up with even the craziest ideas that might not emerge in normal situations.

Salla Rantamäki
I originally studied materials technology, but it was only after starting my working life that I realised what I really wanted to do for a living. I returned here to study in the Master’s Programme in International Design Business Management (IDBM).

Alexandra Kozlova
When I arrived in Otaniemi, my world view was neatly divided into clear boxes and frames. Now, I try to take things as they come without forcing them into strict frames or categorising.

Anna Rekola
I have now taken part in Technology Academy Finland's internship programme at the Design Factory. During my internship I have been included in a working group where we have thought up ways in which to make this place even better.

Idil Nazli Akture
I just heard I got a job at Pöyry Management Consulting. I will be part of a new team tackling new concepts rather than doing things the old way.

Pravin Luthada
To make composites manufacturing more accessible, Addcomposites has found a way to fully automate the process for small objects. Our technology is already patented, and we are currently testing the solution in real-life cases.

Xiaoyu Ji
I’m taking part in this course where we are experimenting and exploring with materials and doing an exhibition for Finavia at the Helsinki airport.

Henri Turto
I have enjoyed being in Otaniemi so much that I have been here for quite some time. My father has said for years already that the metro comes to Otaniemi before I leave.

Farah Salah
The darkness is not easy to combat, but I’ve learned that walking outside for at least 20 minutes every day while it’s still light out does wonders.

Aleksi Hämäläinen
We had lost our rental flat at the end of spring, so we decided to spend the summer in China – because it is cheaper to live there. We started to study how machine learning could be utilised in the field of robotics.

Minttumeri Hirsimaa
The topic of our course task is humanity. On this art course, I ended up making a two-metre wooden statue using a chain saw.

Ari-Pekka Härkönen
I almost fell off my chair when I heard I’d made the cut in Startuplifers. In practice, this means that the Startuplifers community will help me find a San Francisco company, which will hire me as an intern.
