Personal assessment
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? I prefer on campus because it gives the perfect working atmosphere. Being in the student atmosphere gives the zeal and ethusiasm to work.
Personal comments:
The housing is fine in HUT. They offer at a reasonably cheaper price. Maintained clean and hygienic. Put together its a good place to live in. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal social experience
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Activities, Nightlife, Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
In the university, each student is a department called "guild". The guild used to organized several activities, parties, travels and so on. So it is easy to meet people. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

There should be some more interaction between foreign students and local industry. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
