BTSB

BTSB is a student webzine that covers everything from poems to politics. We are a part of SUB ry, the student organization of English students at the University of Helsinki.

I began my studies at Helsinki University in 2008. Now, I’ll finally be getting my Master’s Degree diploma, marking the end of my university studies. During that time, I’ve seen a lot of changes happen to the system, and my own perception has developed and shifted accordingly. For the most part, I’ve been grateful to have the chance to study in Finland, but I’d be remiss not to speak out about some troubling developments.

Life

Last March, Finnish students joined forces in Helsinki to demonstrate against student allowance cuts planned by the Finnish government. MPs from all coalition parties came out and guaranteed that no cuts to student allowances would happen when this government is in session. Then they changed their minds and we students did little to protest.
