Greetings from the Executive Director Hi you! A warm welcome to Turku School of Economics. We at The Association of Economics students in Turku are thrilled to have you here.

And of course to offer the best student events you’ll attend to while studying here in Turku!
TuKY (The Association of Economics Students
in Turku) is an association with traditional roots all the way from 1950. We have our office located at the heart of TSE, right next to the student
lunch place Monttu. You can come over during office hours with any issue or problem – we will
solve it together. The office is also my work place
and the spot where you can rent a locker from the hall or buy your royal blue student overalls,
which are the pride and glory of every TuKY student. Renting a locker costs 20 €, from which you
will get 10 € back when returning the key. Please bring cash with you if possible.
I hope with all my heart that you will spend
an unforgettable time here with us at TSE and Turku. I truly believe you have made an excellent
choice by picking Turku for your studying city – I

What is Turun KY?

Economics Students in Turku (Turun kauppakorkea-
koulun ylioppilaskunta), was founded on 12.10.1950
ting up a student association. The symbol for the student as-
sociation and the current institution is compounded of the snake wand of Mercury, the god of merchandise,
and a gothic A-letter in the escutcheon of Turku
city. Turun KY got its own flag in 1953 and a symbol for graduation cap in 1966. The students of Turku School of Economics still use these same symbols, which differ from the symbols of University of Turku.
In the end of the 1950s began the tradition of
calling the freshmen students of TSE 'bunnies' (puput). In the fall of 1953 the student associati-

the beginning of 2000s because of its poor shape. The new Parkki was finally completed in 2006.
Turku School of Economics and University of
Turku have had a couple discussions about mer-
ging over the years. The final fusion took place
in the end of 2010, at which time the student associations of TSE and UTU also merged. It was
named the Student Union of University of Turku (TYY).
After this, Turun KY has continued its activity

ciations because of our long-standing traditions and our team
building in Aurakatu. The room was named Monttu (pit hole) because of its little deserted appearance. Monttu was relo-
location in 1959. Monttu is one of the oldest nightclubs in Fin-
to focus on the well-being and promotion of interests of its
members. Nevertheless, we separate from other student assospirit, which has evolved over the decades to its current glory.
FAQ - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS do I get started with school? Where 1. How can I get help if needed?
The orientation day gets you started with everyt-
hing. Every exchange student is placed in a group with a tutor that helps with everything. Please, feel
free to ask anything from the tutors since they are here just for you. And of course you can always ask help from anyone around you!
2.How do I register for courses and exams?
The first registration occurs at the Student Affairs
Office (opintotoimisto). After that you will register for courses and exams at nettiopsu.utu.fi. As you register for courses you should be aware when the registration begins since some courses (mostly
languages) fill up quickly. Some of the exams are completed at a computer classroom and registra-
tion for these exams occurs at tenttis.utu.fi. The registration for exams should be done one week
before the exam. If you somehow forget to register, contact the teacher if he/she’ll still allow you to do the exam. At nettiopsu.utu.fi you ́ll also find your grades for completed studies.
3.
Are there any other websites that I should be aware of?
You will receive a username and a password for
nettiopsu and other websites that are linked to our school. Username and password are the same on each site. Another mentionable site is mail.utu.
fi which is the official e-mail of the university – use it to contact the teachers. You should join mailing
lists to receive information about events. The most important ones are active@utu.fi and CIA-TuKY@
utu.fi. Every event is also published on Facebook.
It’s also worth joining ESN Turku. Every event of our school is found on turunky.fi/jasenille/tapahtumakalenteri.

5.What if I get ill?
There's students’ health care at Kirkkotie 13.
It's called YTHS and it ́s the most affordable option for students. Usually, there’s no need for a certificate of illness, but a few classes require

What should I know about Finnish people?
Finns do like to keep their own space especially in public places and there isn’t much small talk,
so don ́t be surprised if your neighbour or the person who sits next to you on a bus doesn’t necessarily talk to you. Finns are generally

The most important discounts are lunch discount (for 2,60€) and public transportation discounts (get your student bus pass at Aurakatu 5). Discounts for students are granted in many
places so student card is worth carrying around.
7.
Where do students get together?
It depends on what you are planning to do. At our school Merca is the place to hang out and
chat with people. Parkki is our detached house near school and almost every event takes place there. Turku is a very compact city and as more
than 20% of its people are students, you can
see them everywhere. One of the best places to
hang out is the side of Aura-river and the riverboats and coffee shops next to it especially in

10. What is the thing with overalls?
Only the best thing at University. Every faculty
has its own color and also there are differen-
ces in colors between cities. So you can always recognize who are from the same school as
you and that ́s also a great way to start a con-
versation. We also collect these badges from almost every event we attend so you can com-
pare them with others and see who have been at the same events as you. Special thing about
the overalls is that people really wear them and they are supposed to be worn at every event
that has participants from other faculties as
well. Overalls are also something to have as a souvenir.

our properties Where the magic happens Over 30-year-old Parkki is TuKY’s very own club house just a minute away from the
TSE (Parkinkatu 6). All sorts of parties and events are held at Parkki all year around. Even though the detached house is also rented for private events, it is mostly used by the students of TSE. Every club from our school can freely book Parkki for their events
and it is free for them. I bet you are going to spend many nights in this building during
your exchange – either partying all night downstairs or enjoying good company and sauna upstairs.
Monttu is the place where you are going to spend the most memorable moments of
your stay in the TSE. It is not only a school restaurant but also our very own bar where
some of the biggest parties are thrown. This bar on the ground floor of our school helps you when you get thirsty and offers you student price beverages in every party – but remember to bring some cash with you since the bar doesn’t accept your parents’ credit card or other payment options. There are going to be parties all year around so remember to show up! We have the best mood and colour lights!
