University life, with its many opportunities, helped prepare me for work in the videogame industry. Attending seminars and participating in student organisations both developed many important skills. I want to express my gratitude to University Sports for providing the opportunity for a long-term, all-encompassing hobby at the University. Many independent recreational associations function with the support of UniSport, and through the work of volunteers they engage in excellent sporting and cultural activities which have their own special academic flavour.

Recreational activity at the University also provided me with valuable experience as president of Honbu, the University karate club. Thanks to this, I also had the honour of being on the first board of IGDA Finland, the Finnish Chapter of the International Game Developers Association. My best memories from the University are located in the magnificent anatomy lecture theatre on Siltavuorenpenger, which was put at the disposal of martial arts societies for many years. Many training sessions, tight matches and outstandingly fitting lectures on physiology in the same dignified and historical room have left an indelible imprint on my memory.
