Benefits in Finland for higher education students
Campus lunch
You can find campus restaurants located on both of LAB’s campuses, in Lahti and Lappeenranta. They provide a delicious variety of nutritious lunches daily. The discounted price for a basic lunch is €3.10. As a LAB bachelor’s or master’s degree student, you are entitled to a discount on meals at campus restaurants around Finland, so you can enjoy affordable meals even outside LAB’s campuses.

Public transport
Buses are a common form of public transport in LAB’s campus cities, providing convenient connections between the campuses and city centres. Students get discounts on monthly passes for local buses. Discounts also extend to train and long-distance bus travel, as both bachelor’s and master’s degree students with a valid Finnish student card are eligible for discounted fares.

- LSL – local and regional buses in Lahti

Student sports and hobbies
MOVEO provides sports facilities, services, and experiences for students in our campus cities. With membership costing only €30 per semester, you can use the campus gym and participate in various ball games and group exercise classes.
Discounts
Many private-sector companies offer discounted prices and other benefits for students. As a higher education student, you might get free trials or discounts when ordering clothes online or booking trips, for example. You may also come across student discounts and special offers across a wide range of services, including restaurants, sports and wellness facilities, technology products, software subscriptions, and entertainment services.
