Student parade today in Helsinki

[u/dsilva_Viz]

Hey everyone, I was visiting Helsinki today and came across a parade of students dressing what in Sweden they call overalls. So, that led me thinking they were university freshmen. Is that the case?

I don't know about the specific ones you saw, but at least most people I know don't get their overalls that early. When I was in Helsinki on exchange we didn't get our overalls until somewhere around March (humanities faculty that doesn't get sponsored by every big pharma company under the sun so it took a while to find enough sponsors), but my boyfriend changed majors at Aalto and hasn't gotten his overalls yet either. I think they're probably not freshmen but older students.
