Unimportant.
Culture
Costs
Activities
Campus life
Party / people

In my opinion:
I loved it but I'm not sure everybody would.



During my experience abroad, I ...
Became familiar with another culture
KEY:
Happened all the time.
Happened quite a lot.
Happened a bit.
Didn't happen.
Traveled
Improved language skills
Met people from other countries
Became more independent
Partied a lot
Experienced a change in life
Advanced my studies/career
Personal recommendation:
IT field at school of business is well planned and organised with very good equipment, but studying business is not at top level



FINAL COMMENTS

Specific country yet worth visiting and staying for longer (but not for life!) If you like nature, it's perfect place for traveling in wilderness. Young, but not only, Finnish people are really nice (not everybody of course) and sociable, on contrary to the myth about that concerns rather older generation.
