Overall codes
The guilds and nations in Otaniemi have their own overalls and their own colours. In addition to the differentiating colour, the various degree programmes are usually marked by differently coloured sleeves. Overall legs are usually cut off and traded with your significant other and other overall parts with your dearest friends.
Overalls are decorated with textile badges – almost each and every association has their own. Overall badges are also made of the most important events. Badges are collected and traded – trading your overall badges is a quite the icebreaker when approaching the opposite sex. The number of overall badges ranges from few to hundreds. The more badges you have, the longer and more actively you have participated in the joys of student life.
