HOUSING

Business Studies, Erasmus
Personal assessment
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? because of the possibility of contact with other international students
Personal comments:
Housing was pretty good, quite small (but we R used to)...I was satisfied. The best was the "international family" we had there. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

OVERALL

Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...

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

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.
