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).
Clubrooms and function rooms
Christina Regina (Klusteri)
Location: Leppäsuonkatu 11 (OpenStreetMap)
Klusteri – i.e., the clubroom for Matlu ry (the umbrella student organisation for the Faculty of Science) – is a popular spot for organised as well as spontaneous recreational activities. The space offers a wide variety of sofas for lounging, music from Spotify, a piano, a large collection of board games, a projector, and game consoles with games. There is also a kitchen with refrigerators in the lounge area. In addition to general hanging out, Klusteri often acts as the venue for board game and movie nights.
When arriving from Kamppi, the route passes restaurants like Kampin Pippuri, McDonald's and Fafa's. The fridges at Klusteri are stocked with soft drinks, which can be bought with cash.
The doors to Klusteri are locked. Entry can be requested by ringing the doorbell and waiting for someone with a key to come open the doors. Keys are entrusted to active members of the organisations, who sign up to take care of the clubroom by cleaning it and making sure events there stay in hand.
The organisations making use of Klusteri clean it with volunteers. TKO-äly's cleaning duty comes up around every six weeks and everyone with a key is expected to participate in it – other volunteers are also welcome, of course. An especially good and easy way to help with cleaning is to behave with tidiness at Klusteri and making sure the space is clean before leaving!
Directions
In autumn 2022, the easiest way to Klusteri from the campus is with the bus 70, from Kustaa Vaasan tie to Hanken. This takes around 20 minutes. Trams 1 and 6 can be used to get as far as the Central Station, from which the walk to Klusteri is around 10 to 15 minutes. There is also the alternative of travelling to Kalasatama for the nearest metro station and riding the metro to Kamppi, from which the walk to Klusteri is a bit over 5 minutes.
Alina Hall
Location: New Student House (Mannerheimintie 5 A) (OpenStreetMap)
The Student Union's Alina Hall is a popular location for parties and sitsit. The hall can house a large crowd and comes with a sound system for blastin music.
! The A-block of the New Student House is undergoing a lift renovation probably until the end of 2022, due to which the Alina Hall is unavailable. The directions will be updated at a later date.
Directions
The fastest path from the Central Station goes via Mannerheimintie or through Kaivopiha.
Parks and other outdoor spaces
Kaivopuisto

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.

Tram line 3 passes by the park. With a brisk pace, it takes a bit over 20 minutes to go by foot from the Central Station.
Kumtähdenkenttä
Location: OpenStreetMap

Bars and pubs
Oljenkorsi
Location: Intiankatu 18 (OpenStreetMap)
Oljenkorsi is the regular haunt for many in Kumpula, thanks to its location and a decent selection of beers and ciders.

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.

It's a nice place to get started, socialise or just stop by for a beer without being horrible for those wishing to steer clear of alcohol.
Directions
