Are you about to start studying at Saxion, or are you already a Saxion student looking to make the most of student life? Then consider joining a student association! A student association follows the principle of ‘by students, for students’ but is not tied to a specific field of study. This means that anyone studying at Saxion can become a member! Unlike study associations, student associations mainly focus on the social and fun aspects of student life. So, get ready for plenty of parties and good times!
