Welcome to Forssa!
Forssa is one of seven HAMK campuses and has about 800 students (2024). From those 800 less than half study here daily and full time. This fairly small amount of students in normal times gives our campus a special kind of vibe. That vibe is about a sense of unity and community.
Forssan ammattikorkeakoulu opiskelijat FAMKO ry is your local student association that is here to make sure that we have some free time activities and parties. Also FAMKO looks after your student interests locally as a partner to student union HAMKO.
To help you get acclimated to your new surroundings in Forssa FAMKO has created this guide. This guide covers three themes; student life, Forssa & free time, and housing & living. We have also included our recommendations of local companies that we have found to be student friendly and reputable quality businesses.
