Nightlife less, because it's too expensive, so I do not visit pubs in Finland etc. My nightlive consist mainly from chating with my friend at cup of tee in the domitory.

Academic
Course recommendations
change the teacher of HTML, CSS and PHP! I could teach this better, and when I'm saying this, I mean it seriously, because I have already learned these type of courses. How can good teacher said: "Many students asked me this, but I don't know" Sorry, if somebody ask me something, and I'm a teacher or lecturer, I will find it out. To forward this information to my students. And when I have 8 hours of time to teach, I try to use them on maximum, not just sitting there and from time to time change the slide. I do not know the name of this teacher, I do not care. This course was the greatest disappointment for me (and not only me!)

I wish I had known...
- that most of medical courses will be just home study, no labs etc. So I skipped them. - how the domitory will look like ... I was really disapointed in the begining, but now I can live here.
