Being student in Finland is like do I want to drink 1-2 beers or eat lunch for a whole week.
Enjoy it while it lasts.
It’s good while it lasts..
I remember when I was on a study exchange in Laurea University and the first time I got lunch and also paid like 2.50 euros. I was in shock at how cheap it was and how delicious too! Not some shit quality food but really good stuff. Hyvä hyvä.
Finns are living the lush life.
Was it good? Ours is a lot more expensive but tastes like dog food
So it is 54 euros per month. I starting considering to go Finland through Russia
Not bad i as chef student we eat what we make so fish meats salads like an Italian or caesar
Worst thing about graduating was having to pay full price for everything. Public transport, food, rent!
I was an intern at this one company and got to eat free gourmet meals with cops and medical workers every day.
And that’s what I miss the most about my semester in Turku. Arken canteen was good and cheap, basically a dream for me.
I loved to complain about the quality of the subsidized meals but I started missing them when I went on exchange and no such options existed.
Depends. It’s definitely a bargain what you get for 2.7e but I find it quite bland, esp when you have to eat lunch at university all weekdays. Also I wish Finnish universities could have some sort of meal plan system instead of having to pay and show student ID every time. Also, I wish these student restaurants stayed open for dinner too.
When the system works, it’s truly something to be proud of. No wonder finland is known as “the happiest country”. This is why I’m happy to pay my taxes.
And yes, we are not perfect. The system isn’t perfect. But that’s why we need to appreciate what we already have and try our best to improve so things can be even better tomorrow.
Where’s your 2nd plate for the salad? [This is how I use to do my student meals](https://ibb.co/kDB283Q) so I only ate 1 meal a day and saved the rest of my money for Wed-Sat partying
Ahh I miss university lunches. Ours also had the option for a “a la carte”- meal for a few euros more although the normal meals were really good everytime.
Also tuesdays and thursdays after 3pm there was a pizza buffet until like 6pm, perfect for late lessons or independent studying.
Nowadays they even have a small bar stand with wines, beers and such! Oh and coffee and cakes etc.
Maybe it is time for a second degree…
is that milk?
Good lord. I’m from the US. I wish any school lunch looked like this. Also they let you drink alcohol at school!? Here you’re likely to be kicked out, and if you’re allowed to drink on campus it’s in your dorm only, even then it’s not guaranteed. Usually you gotta sneak it on campus and hope you’re not caught.
You’re welcome.
Pretty sure my college food had laxatives in it back in the usa
This costa more but you only pay 2,70€ for it.
It’s gone up to 2,70??? What next, 0,60€ for a coffee?
what kind of sadistic curry is this??
Meanwhile I’ve been eating bk for the last two months at a price 100x ops.
I’m hungry for good food
What sorcery is this! Sinä olet velho!
Was just looking into study abroad from the US to Finland! The price breakdown for everything was so fair that I thought it was a scam. Rent, food, etc..
I gotta move, the Netherlands is such a shit hole
I miss UniCafe meals 😭😭😭
You are welcome!
Br,
Happy taxpayer
P.S. Please stay after graduation and pass the good
Why isn’t it free?
You got *two* lunch beverages without additional pricing? Which student restaurant do you go to?
I can confirm that, I was the lunch.
Outrageous! Back in my time it was 2,60€!
I’m working at Intel here in Oregon, USA. Our lunches are $1 and they are on the grade of this as well. Friday’s are nice fish halibut tacos, my favourite!
