Housing
Type of housing: hall of residence
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: hall of residence
Why?
Because I think it is a good way to make good contacts with the other students. For that reason you can learn more english and also you can learn more about other cultures

Personal comments
It's good, because the facilities are quiet new, the rooms are very big and the share kitchen is big enough for all the people who has to share it. Another important thing is that it is very good for public transport.

I have improved a lot my english language because I have to speak and listen every moment in this language. n the contrary I can't learn anything about the finnish language, because I have not enough time to learn it and I am more interested in the english language.

Personal spending habits
In general, Finland is more expensive than Spain, so I spend more money in the food, public transport, and so on, but i don't spend money in the nightlife because I don't usually go out in the nigths. On the contrary I spend a lot of money travelling, i want to know a lot of countries and the most important finnish places as well.
