Remember where you are going. Scandinavian culture is far different from others. If you want to make friends and to have a good time, stay in home. If you only want to stady, they have a wonderful and advanced university.

Awful organitation. Student dormitories are 1 hour and a half far away walking from city center. It is not a student service, but a Business for TYS(organizers).

Student life
Describe host city:
Students interact with the local community without much university involvement

Activities: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment
Nightlife, Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment
Personal social experience

Local people hardly have relation with others(even with finish people). You must organize everything for your own, and try to find friends. They wont go close to you.
