PRE-ARISTOTELES

On Sunday the 2nd of September, there was this feast called ‘’Aristoteles’’. During this feast, which is each September, new and experienced students of the University of Latvia get together on Dome Square and show their passion for their faculty in various ways (e.g. by using slogans, posters, or other performances). Ultimately, the idea is to stand out with your faculty as much as possible. Moreover, the Rector of the University, deans of faculties and others will refer to students. After the official part on Dome Square all students are welcomed to join the march to the Main Building of the University of Latvia. After that a party will start with some exciting competitions, photo corner, dancing, Latvian favorite musicians, bands and much more. The above was more or less the description of this event on the event page.  Whilst I can confirm on the beginning of that being mentioned (and that it was something worth experiencing), I did not experience the latter. I found the price of 5 Ls without discount flyer (later lowered to 4 Ls when asking the second time) to be too high to enter for any kind of university party. I will never find out if it was actually worth the money, but I was ok with that at the time, and am still now.
