Picture this: a few hundred students from dozens of countries, coming to a small Finnish town two and a half hours from Helsinki, studying one subject at a time at full sprint, living in the same apartments, eating at the same tables, and somehow, by the end of it all, becoming each other's closest friends.

​

That's Probba. That's what it's always been.

​

Probba is the student association of the Aalto University BScBA programme in International Business - a degree that has, since 1989, attracted students from all over the world to one of Finland's most unlikely places.

We are part of KY, the student association of Aalto University School of Business, and through it, part of AYY, the broader Aalto student union.

 

But within all of that, Probba is its own thing entirely. Smaller. Tighter. Louder, when the occasion calls for it.

We call each other Babas. We have for over three decades, and we're not stopping now.
