Everything was expensive. Best idea of cost saving is the contact with tutors. This applies especially for alcohol. Cheapest at student parties (otherwise very expensive)

A nice night spot was "Parkki" which is a place where all parties of the Turun Kauppakorkeakoulu take place. There were also other nice spots like "the old school" and "the old bank". Blanko is a popular spot as well.
Events not to be missed are these "little Xmas parties".
