HOUSING
by sweetsparks, Southampton Institute, Southampton, United Kingdom
Business Studies, Erasmus
Personal assessment
Type of housing: It wasn't on campus but it was mainly for student/
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Id choose the same as before
Why? You got to meet and interact with people, and the Finnish tend to be very helpful when they know you. Its the only way to really settle down!!
Personal comments:
The housing was brilliant as it was organised by the host university, i lived with 2 french girls who were in my class, this made it terribly easy for us to get to know each other and become friends quite quickly. The hassle of looking for a place lies with the university therefore you have nothing to worry baout. Its usally just 3 people to a flat so that made it feel more like home and you tend to get on quite well with your flatmates. The rooms are extremely spacious, you get a balcony and it was probably more than i could have hoped for. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
STUDENT LIFE
by sweetsparks, Southampton Institute, Southampton, United Kingdom
Business Studies, Erasmus
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:
Must go to Elohuvi, its a really really good student club altho yuo have 2be 23 & over to get in - i was only 19 but stillmanaged to get in- dont be discouraged and always have a form of ID which is recognised worldwide!! NuNu's was the best club to go2, the interior the staff and the music was just fantastic: its like an intimate bar/club but it really is amazing!! Dominoes on a tuesday night is the best for midweek clubbin and it seems to make the week got faster... if you really like your R'n'B and HipHop you must go to Dominoes as they have the latest in those genre's!! Memphis is a Bar attached to Coffee House and both are connected to NuNu's Memphis is a great place for a quiet drink!! If you like Jazz payu a visit to Jazz Bar, they have live performances every thursday/fridays& saturdays...very very good!! what ever type of music you're into you are bound to find something to entertain yourself!!

ACADEMIC

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
I did the GBM program which I can advice you all to do (the one's with a Business background). Also take courses from other faculties, this is possible and makes you broader and introduces you with more people!!!
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
Nothing really. The GBM department is cause of its small set up the best place to interact with fellow students and teachers. This is a good way to learn! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Language difficulties
Language of instruction: English
Local language was: Different than language of instruction.
Was learning English a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't. Was learning the local language a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my knowledge How much did you improve your English?
My level before: No problems in any areas (including slang) My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang) How much did you improve your local language?
My level before: Did not speak it My level after: Basic phrases Personal comments:
English is fluent for me. The GBM program has alot of Int. people and Finnish people who lived out side of Finland for their parents work and have English almost as their second native language (like me). So in the program no problem. Out site the program it is a bit harder, but with a dictonary, some Finnish classes (offered by the uni) and English it is in general no problem out site the uni/program This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
EXPENSES
by sweetsparks, Southampton Institute, Southampton, United Kingdom
Business Studies, Erasmus
The accessibility of student needs
Main source of funding:
An ERASMUS grant Other sources of funding:
Family Personal savings Work opportunities:
It was not legal for me to work Personal spending habits:
I feel i spent more as all teh international students always organized invents for ourselves when there were no events organised by the school; this gave us a chance to get to know each other better therfore it was worth it, there are sooo many place to visit and many activites to do within the city!! Food, Travel, Overall: was more expensive than at home. Nightlife, Telephone, Housing: was less expensive than at home.
