There are concerts and other performances in the Suolahti concert hall on the campus every week. Suolahti town has a newly restored swimming pool within walking distance. The lakes, rivers and rapids offer a great chance for canoeing and kayaking. The nature trails are excellent for hiking almost any time of the year.
