Final comments
Finland is not as expensive as people reckons cos students rents and meals at uni are cheap and about the weather..it's very cold but if u've got good clothes u'll cope.
I think Finland is as exotic as it gets in Europe , it's such a differentculture and way of life, it's worth giving it a try!
