The university of Tampere accepts me to it's ample bosom
Just got the nice, thick letter, and to honor that I'll even use the annoying dancedance smiley. 
It's a bit amusing, though - the lowest accepted score you got in with was 73.10, which happened to be exactly my score  Just call me the bottom of the barrel boy! 
Oh yes, I'll be studying English translation - and I've got Poly to thank for it. Writing at Poly has certainly improved my English skills in leaps and bounds, as evidenced by my 295/299 English score in the finals (I've mentioned this few times here and many many times in real life - it's always good to have a bit of piss in your head for nothing).
I'll probably leave for Tampere in late August. There's going to be a six-month gap in the education starting in January when I leave for my military service.

Yes, Finland has a mandatory military service. Some of my friends left for Kontioranta (traditional destination of service for Joensuu kids) today. One of them is also coming to Tampere after military.

I wonder how long before the EU feels fit to ban enforced slavery in the military. Perhaps they could do something useful for once...

Congrats, Stefu! Good to hear you made it.. looks like a good summer for most Finn Apolytoners...
Though you'll be serving a full year.. not 180 days.

DD,
it's not college. 
Stefu,
good for you. Hopefully I'll see you around here then. Also, Pekka and Laurentius better abstain from starting that pointless fight now. You just make this thread look like a joke then.

The big question in my mind is: are there (lots of) ample bosoms there?

Why do Americans refer to university as college?
In my mind, a college is a second-rate school for people who flunked out of university.

As far as I'm concerned, college is somewhere you go between secondary school and university.

Why should I listen to people who think that Sweden's capital isn't called "Tukholma"?
(Soon someone's going to say that Denmark's capital isn't "Kööpenhamina!" The infamy!)
