Student traditions among the Aalto University students
Emi Maeda, University of Helsinki
Folklore Studies, Pro gradu thesis, April 2017
The aim of the study was to find out how the students of the Aalto University perceive the student culture and student traditions. In my thesis, I studied what traditions meant for the examinees, what central traditions the examinees had, what role traditions played in the examinees’ community, what kind of culture was supported by the traditions and notions of traditions of the examinees, and how traditions are maintained. The primary material of the study consisted of a survey with 58 questions and of 19 expert interviews. The material is available for study in the AYY archive.
