My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
I was really surprised with the fact that the main exams often consisted in learning books by heart, which I thought a bit useless at this stage of our studies, particularly for business studies This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

This experience will remain something that changed my vision of the world forever. I hadn't had the opportunity to travel before, and there, I met people from the whole world. I spend hours talking with friends, exchanging ideas on the way e see the world and our future...Though we came from different cultures, we found out we had to answer the same questions ..I also learned a little bit of tchech and korean, since my roomates came from Praha and Seoul...and guess what, I am just about to meet Lenka (my roomate) again! This trip was a very humanly rich experience for me! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

OVERALL
Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
maybe a little bit more of finnish, the greatest thing would have been to be almost fluent to enjoy theater and all te poets who are not translated yet...and of course, to go deeply into the culture of the country and of its inhabitants. In my opinion:
Most people loved it.
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
i would recommend the Intercultural Management course, which was for e a unique chance to discuss and debate the problems we can encounter while working with people from other coutries, this was all the more interesting that most of the exchange students are there, and the debate is passionating! FINAL COMMENTS
Of course, you should try to enjoy all the travels organized by the students: St Petersburg and Stockholm. But it is really easy to travel around Estonia, Tallin is beautiful ... Going to Lapland remain expensive if you don't rent a cottage for ten... Also, if you come from France, like I do , try to train yourself to respect the queuing system, and try to remember not to cross the street when it is not allowed!! You will be so rude in Finland otherwise!! I'd like to add that I have a lot of respect for the Finnish nation, for the honesty (one of the most amazing thing for me: I forgot my wallet in the compuer lab for a day, and it was still there in the evening!!!) and the respect of the "rules necessary to live togehter"... Last, but not least, i ve neen fascinated with the nature...According to me, there was something between nature and the Finns, that, unfortunately, i won't be able to understand fully one day.
