Events
Sitz
Sitz, sits or sitsit
A Finnish (and Swedish) academic student event (table parties) where people eat, drink and sing songs. Sitz are ''formal'' happenings with a set programme, conference breaks, and specific rules that everyone must obey. Dresscode is according to the theme of the sitz.
The quality of food and drink is not the point of the event, so don't set your expectations high. Eat properly before you come. And you may bring extra beverage with yourself (depending on venue).
