This site contains a list of the most common venues for events, with directions. It's usually a good choice to use public transport for moving between places, and you can find schedules and route suggestions in the HSL journey planner (see [[journey planning]]).

== Parks and other outdoor spaces ==
=== Kaivopuisto ===
'''Location:''' [http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=60.1571&mlon=24.9562#map=15/60.1571/24.9562 OpenStreetMap]

Kaivopuisto is a popular setting for summer days for students and others alike. The park is especially full on Vappu (1st of May), when many come to celebrate the nearing summer. Some stores can be found near the park for acquiring beverages.

=== Kumtähdenkenttä ===
'''Location:''' [http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=60.20380&mlon=24.96724#map=17/60.20380/24.96724 OpenStreetMap]

Kumtähdenkenttä is a nice little park right next to the Kumpula Campus. Orientation week usually entails hanging out there with freshers and tutors. The park is also a very comfortable distance away from the Arabia shopping centre, which houses grocery stores and an Alko, among others.

=== Suomenlinna ===
'''Location:''' [http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=60.1426&mlon=24.9864#map=16/60.1426/24.9864 OpenStreetMap]

Favoured by TKO-äly and many other student organisations for late-summer picnics and the traditional location for the Head Start event taking place before the orientation week. The usual spot for TKO-äly is in Susisaari, on the ramparts of the bastion Kunnia, west of the summer theatre (see map above).

There are shops and cafés in Suomenlinna, but in order to avoid unnecessary walking and commercial congestion, it's recommended to fetch one's supplies before arriving on the island.

=== Väinämöisen puisto ===
'''Location:''' [https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=60.17338&mlon=24.91603#map=17/60.17338/24.91603 OpenStreetMap]

A park close to Klusteri in Etu-Töölö. A common place for grilling and picnics. There are small grocery stores on the nearby Mechelininkatu for food and beverage needs.

== Saunas ==
=== Attic Sauna Sivistys ===
'''Location:''' Leppäsuonkatu 11 ([http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=60.16933&mlon=24.92229#map=18/60.16933/24.92229 OpenStreetMap])

Sivistys is located in the same building as Klusteri. The sauna itself is quite small and houses up to 10 saunaers at a moment. The lounge room can host a bigger crowd. The space has refrigerators and a small kitchen. There's a roof terrace for fresh air and taking in the sights. A glazed balcony is used for sitsit during the summer.

=== Mäkelänkadun Edustussauna ===
'''Location:''' Mäkelänkatu 87 (entrance from Koskelantie) ([https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=60.20925&mlon=24.94688#map=19/60.20925/24.94688 OpenStreetMap])

A rather big sauna and lounge space with a cold-water pool. The annual freshers sauna night is usually held here nowadays.

== Bars and pubs ==
=== Oljenkorsi ===
'''Location:''' Intiankatu 18 ([http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/435825985 OpenStreetMap])

Oljenkorsi is the regular haunt for many in Kumpula, thanks to its location and a decent selection of beers and ciders. Located a stone's throw away from campus, it's a common place of respite after a long day of studying. In addition to its selection of beverages (some of which come with a student discount), Oljenkorsi offers board games, a billiards table and some snacks. There are also Donald Duck vintages. A 30-question pub quiz is held on Tuesdays at 19:00.

=== Musta Härkä ===
'''Location:''' Mäkelänkatu 52 ([https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=60.19663&mlon=24.95121#map=18/60.19663/24.95121 OpenStreetMap])

Musta Härkä, situated in Vallila, offers student discounts and a genuine suburban pub experience with its daily karaoke and a wall-free men's room. The other half of the restaurant makes up a small nightclub.

== Previous clubrooms and function rooms ==
=== Christina Regina (Klusteri) ===

'''Location:''' Leppäsuonkatu 11 ([http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=60.16933&mlon=24.92229#map=18/60.16933/24.92229 OpenStreetMap])

Klusteri – i.e., the clubroom for Matlu ry (the umbrella student organisation for the Faculty of Science) – was a popular spot for organised as well as spontaneous recreational activities. The space offered a wide variety of sofas for lounging, music from Spotify, a piano, a large collection of board games, a projector, karaoke supplies and game consoles with games. There was also a kitchen with refrigerators in the lounge area. In addition to general hanging out, Klusteri often acted as the venue for board game and movie nights.

When arriving from Kamppi, the route passed restaurants like Kampin Pippuri, McDonald's and Fafa's. The fridges at Klusteri were stocked with soft drinks, which could be bought with cash. There was a 24-h grocery store next to Klusteri as well, on Mechelininkatu.

The doors to Klusteri were locked. Entry could be requested by ringing the doorbell and waiting for someone with a key to come open the doors. Keys were entrusted to active members of the organisations, who signed up to take care of the clubroom by cleaning it and making sure events there stayed in hand.

The organisations making use of Klusteri cleaned it with volunteers. TKO-äly's cleaning duty was around every six weeks and everyone with a key was expected to participate in it – other volunteers were also welcome, of course. An especially good and easy way to help with cleaning was to behave with tidiness at Klusteri and making sure the space was clean before leaving!

=== Alina Hall ===
'''Location:''' New Student House (Mannerheimintie 5 A) ([http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=60.16928&mlon=24.93995#map=18/60.16928/24.93995 OpenStreetMap])

The Student Union's Alina Hall was a popular location for parties and sitsit. The hall could house a large crowd and came with a sound system for blastin music.
