I have finished with my exams, what is actually one exam, since we had only this one in Q1!
and now, briefly, 12 fact about Chalmers, what are the main differences in comparison with my previous one. (In other words: why is it here much better;) )
1. You are allowed to stay at the campus and inside the buildings till 3 AM! So there are no closing time around 6PM-8PM, or something like that. Each student received at the registration a card, with what you can unlock your own faculties buildings` door. Yes, even during weekends.
2. The students have a printing credit of 250 pages per semester. Perhaps it is not much, but still, it is enough for printing a lot of things. Besides, I still need to figure out how to check my actual credit situation :)
3. There is a magnificent building for the Student Union, with amenities like swimming pool, pool tables, sauna and all these can be used for free!
4. The whole campus is filled with seats, sofas and places to gather and to study with friends. Practically there is no limitation... You can go wherever you want. Normally the SU building is the most liked, but this is also the reason for being a bit noisy... Last week we found a hidden Study room in our faculty building, no one bothered us during 2 days...
5. There are huge intrinsic parties within the campus. 3-4 times per semester there is the FestU, and the Pub Crawl, when each faculty has on party in its building. Yes, that means hmm I guess more than 14 parties within the campus.. Normally u go to only one, because the cues are so so so long to get in. Though everything has its reasons, and this is because of the drastic ID cards check at the entrance since they do not allow you to get in if you are underage. And as for underage and Sweden, imagine, there are plenty of places where they do not hesitate to say the limit us 28(!) years! I have never thought that there are still clubs where i am not allowed to enter :)
6.Our Student ID card is pretty clever. You can load money on it, and you will get plenty of dicounts at the campus restaurants and places around the neighbourhood.
7. The students have the possibility to rent out some rooms and bars in the basements of the campus. You must pay a symbolic fee (~20EUR) and you can arrange parties, whatever.. Currently we are working on having some birthday parties and stuff... ;) The operations is the following : the are private groups of students and they are responsible for the place itself, you have to pay for them, make the booking with them :)
8. If you cheat whilst writing an exam and you are caught: that means a 6 months ban for you :) It is a pretty good reason to make the students think about cheating or not... back in home, we only got the fail result and went home and tried again, here it is not working :)
9. The university probvides all the blank sheets for exams... no suffering with papers..no misunderstanings... and .. all the written exams are anonymous!
10. Again and again: in sweden all the master courses are free in in English!
11. The students working in the Student Union are taking the whole year off and receiveing a salary for their work. That is the normal way of doing things correctly..unlike in BME, where they doing it to steal some more money...
12. The IPM students (we) belong to the faculty of civil engineering, with the following financial information:
125 M EUR turnover, 73% from outer sources, emplying 30 professors.
Sorry for the brief style, i got plenty of things to do ;)
