Final comments
It's best to buy some warm clothes before you leave! Travelling around Finland is great in summertime (after university is over) with the train (half price with Finnish student card). Basic knowledge of English is useful, there were some international students that didn't speak a word of English and they had a hard time at the start.
Great experience. I would leave right away if I could!

all the international exchange students were put in the same street. It was very nice because it brought a special international atmosphere. The housing was very good.
