Tips from the pHøs

What should be packed in the moving package? And what does even "dark suit" mean? When Nollan finds the first time in Lund difficult and all the new concepts confusing, it is a good idea to let pHøset's wise words guide the Nolla.

Packing list

What's actually important to include in the moving boxes? Scroll through this packing list to get some tips which migh not be obvious at first, but that will facilitate your first time in Lund considerably.

Bike
In Lund, the bicycle is the Nollas best friend. The traffic is completely adapted to the many bicycles and it rarely takes more than fifteen minutes to get between two places in the city. Don't forget the bike lights, otherwise the police will come and take the Nolla by the ear. pHøset recommends getting a bike before Nollan moves, as there are a lot of people looking for a limited number of bikes at the start of the semester, which can make the bikes more expensive than they need to be!
Suit/Dress
During the Introduction, several parties and sittnings are arranged with finer dress codes such as "broken jacket" or "dark suit". At the Nollegasque, the Nolla can even dress in formal attire if they wants. So make sure that blazer, cocktail dress, suit, coat or prom dress is packed!
Sturdy shoes
You never know what the Introduction, or the weather in Lund might bring. But we do know that most of the events during the Introduction will take place outdoors, and that it is in the best interest of the Nolla to bring sturdy shoes.

Needle and thread
At LTH, the Ouverall is often the obvious choice of outfit for different events. The Nolla will soon notice that the Ouverall is almost the only clothing they will need in their wardrobe. The Ouverall is covered with patches as memories from the Introduction and the coming 5 years at LTH. Since you will need to sew on the patches, it is wise to bring a sewing kit.
Money
During the beginning of the semester you need some money in your account to get started and pay for literature, residence, Ouverall, dinner parties etc.
Sleeping bag and sleeping mat
[Only relevant for Swedish students] During the Introduction, there will be an opportunity to participate in an excursion with an overnight stay with a limited number of sleeping places. Therefore the pHøs asks the Nolla to bring a sleeping mat and sleeping bag if the Nolla has the opportunity so the Nolla can join this wonderful adventure!

At LTH the natural outfit choice is always the overalls. Actually, you will soon notice that the overall is the only garment you need. The overalls are covered with patches from various events and happenings as memories of the Introduction and the following years at LTH. Since these patches has to be sewn on,and since it is somewhat of a social institution to "sew on patches", it is a good idea to bring the sewing kit from home.

Dress Codes

If you find it hard to understand the dress codes, this will be to your help! The dress codes are guidelines to help the Nolla, but they are rarely strict.

The most important is that the Nolla wears whatever makes them feel comfortable!

The Ouverall

The Ouverall is usually the only choice for a technologist, and the most important garment of the Nolla. To accompany the Ouverall, a t-shirt, tank top or a more festive top is worn, depending on the occasion.

Jacket

Optional jacket where the pants does not need to be of the same color or fabric, or a cocktail dress are good choices for this dress code. To accompany the jacket, a tie or a bow tie can be worn.

Technologist clothing

The Ouverall

The Nolla quickly realizes that the Ouverall is the favorite garment for a engineering student. The Ouverall provides both cohesion within the Guild and at the entire LTH. There are some rules of thumb regarding Ouveralls:

• The Ouverall should always be worn whenever there is an opportunity.

• Patches should always be sewn on.

• If the Ouverall is to be washed it needs to be worn by a student at the same time.

• Exchange of Ouverall leg stripes strengthens the bond between the Guilds.

• Exchange of buttons means the two students have kissed.

• Exchange of collar with another student means intimate relationship.

The Nolla will have the chance to buy the Ouverall during the first weeks at LTH.

The ENGINEER’S CAP

The engineer's cap is an important accessory for the engineering student and is often worn at events. The white cap is worn from the end of April to the fourth of October and the dark blue cap in between. Spegates (braided rings) are worn on the cap and represent the section a technologist belongs to and the number of years of study the engineering student has completed. After completing the Master's degree program, a padlock is attached to the spegates as proof. The rules governing the technologist's cap are:

• Chemical engineering has yellow stripes, Biotechnology has a yellow-green stripes and Food technology has a yellow-red stripes.

• A tied tassel means the student is in a relationship.

• When somebody ties one of the strings in the tassel, that somebody should be rewarded with a kiss from the student wearing the cap.

• A braid in the tassel means intimacy.

• The cap may not, under any circumstances, be worn until the Nolla “drinks it in” at the Nollegasque.

You will get opportunity to by your own Engineer's cap during your first time at LTH.

Tips from the pHøs

One of the most important things for Nollan not to forget is to take good care of their health, både den mentala och fysiska. Nollan bør därför ta sig tiden att gøra saker som hen mår bra av att gøra, träna, sova, läsa en bok eller umgås med vänner och viktigast av allt att inte glømma bort att vila! Det är till exempel helt okej att inte vara med på alla Nollningsevemang om nollan behöver lite vila 🙂

The mentors are there to answer everything under the sun. Mentors are the Novisch’s great source of comfort and are more than happy to help. With their valuable knowledge and experience, they can provide Nollan with abundant tips and advice to make the student life as exciting and memorable as possible. And remember, all mentors were once Novisches too.

/ pHøs Elyxia

For the Nolla, consuming H2O høgsta prioritet för bibehållande av välmåendet under nollningen. Huruvida Vulgaris styr vädret mot gassande solsken eller monsunregn førblir okänt och Nollan bør alltid ta med både vattenflaska och paraply i packningen. Och glöm inte, H2O is always free and very refreshing.

/ pHøs Vulgaris

The yellow overall is the Nolla's best friend and it holds more than you could ever imagine. Fill it with everything needed for long days: water bottle, snacks, medicine, tampons, needle and thread, or why not have an ace up your sleeve? The storage possibilities offered by the overall are endless, so make the most of it!

/ pHøs Interio

In Lund and at LTH, the phenomenon of the “academic quarter” has existed since time immemorial. Therefore, it is good for the Nolla to know the concept and what it entails. Lectures and parties start 15 minutes past the scheduled time, unless it is after 6 PM or during the weekend, when a double quarter applies and they start 30 minutes after the scheduled time. If the academic quarter does not apply, "prick prick", “dot dot” or (..) is written after the time. The Nolla should remember that exams, quizzes, and Laboratory work never have an academic quarter.

/ pHøs Phenoxio

For the well-being and wallet of the Nolla, it is strongly recommended to meal prep. With a ready-made meal waiting, the Nolla can embark on the most chaotic adventures with the comfort of being able to eat whenever they want to. Moreover, the money saved can be used for other enjoyable things that can enhance everyday life.

/ pHøs Nymera

In the hectic and chaotic daily life of the Introduction, it is easy to forget about studies. but the Nolla will thank themselves during the exam period if they manage to maintain their studies during the Introduction. Seek help from your newfound friends and study together until the evening's fun activities begin. And remember that it is okay to fall behind in class as long as the Nolla does not feel too stressed when the deadlines and exams approach.
