Personal comments
The best nightclub is Gligglin Marlin. It is small but very good. If you go in the semester that goes from january to june you can´t miss The Network ( a huge three days party that takes place in the city and people from all over finland come).
The first of may is a huge party as well.
Besides if you are a guy i have to say that finish girls are very beautiful.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Because it gives you the chance to be independent and learn to live by yourself. I think it is a very good experience for those who live with their parents in your home country.
