KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.
Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Best option, you also have roommates, which is very nice!
Personal comments:
Accomodation is ok, cleaning and laundry facilities are not good. Do not choose the single appartments near school, they are overpriced and gloomy.

Personal recommendation:
You have to know that in Finland rules are rules, if you are able to understand that fact, everything is going to go great.



FINAL COMMENTS

You should travel to Talin (Estonia), Stockolm and San Petesburg. Finland is a good place to travel arround as well. There are many ways to reach your travel aims, train, bus, Ferry, but you shouldn't forget your student card and you should try to get the Finnish student car as well to get discounts.
