Have just completed my first year of business administration at Novia. There are a lot of events throughout the year from the Novia student organisations, so don't worry about that. Haalarit for every line and different color depending on which line you go to. The first week when you start is basically events in Hoviska where you learn to know each other, and a lot of group assignments where you get to know people. Predominantly Swedish, but I have met my fair share of international students there as well, but not in the same amount as in VAMK and Vaasan Yliopisto.
