Personal comments
I like rock&roll music, so I ought to recomend club as:Doris, Ruma or Camel. Otherwise, you also have got other nice clubs and pubs for dancing or taking a drink.
Moreover, there are special acts during the year, as the "bapoo" party, in which all the citiziens take part on this party.

Course recommendations
I only say that University of Tampere is better than mine. I have learned more during a year than last five years in Spain. The lessons are more practicals and there are a lot of interesting seminars.

at first time I had fear because I didn´t speak english so well, but I have got a good level for being able to solve all problems that I had got. However It was difficult trying to learn finnish because they use another alphabet and a so strange grammar.
