For more info please see page ESN Membership

If you are unable to pick up your physical ESN Card or Overalls during Office Hours please contact us! It is possible to get them at some of our events but only if agreed in advance! 

Overalls 

Wearing student overalls (opiskelijahaalarit) is a very big tradition among students in Finland. One could say that the official party outfit for Finnish students is the overall. They represent you and your fellow students as a collective, especially since every study field has its own overall colour and/or design.  Fill them with patches that you can get from events. ESN Uni Helsinki's overall colour for the academic year 2024-2025 is purple.

Wearing overalls and other rules 

Many student organizations, associations, and guilds have their own rules when it comes to wearing or using overalls. At ESN Uni Helsinki, we follow just a few general rules which are: 

1. Do not use a sewing machine for sewing patches. All patches must be sewn by hand! 

2. The only way to wash your overalls is to wear them! Overalls can and should get dirty but if you want to clean them, you have to put them on 

3. If you have a significant other who also studies in Finland you can exchange part of your overall leg with them. With friends from a different student organization, you can exchange sleeves.

Usually, we wear overalls by tying the sleeves at the waist, but you can also put them on completely.
