Helsinki School of Economics review by jalmagro
HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Share an apartment with other foreign students itīs basically the best for study, for learning the language and for keeping a certain level of independence.
Personal comments:
First of all it was a great personal experience because I made quite a lot friends there during that period. The location was perfect ( less than 10 minutes walking from the university) and the facilities at the apertment were really good.

STUDENT LIFE
Personal social experience
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Activities, Travel: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment Nightlife: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
Helsinki has an important night life. Nice spots are Helsinki Club, SODA, Pravda, Amarillo and Molly Malone Irish bar. Kaivopuisto park itīs a nice place that have to be visited as many other like the harbour, the cathedral....Concerning events.... when you are in a foreign country everything has to be basically followed.
