Final comments
Tallinn is a very good starting point to discover the Baltics (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania) as well as Finnland and Russia.
Before university starts try to get into the EILC course (erasmus intensive language course) - it's really interesting and you will find a lot of friends!

Personal comments
Estonian is a quite difficult (14 cases) but very interesting language. You will no need it for the daily life in Tallinn as nearly everyone can speak English, but it's nice to have notion about what is written in a newspaper or what people in the street are talking about. At university your perfectly come along with a profund English knowledge as the whole international BBA or MBA is in English.

Expenses
Main source of funding:
Family
Other sources of funding:
An ERASMUS grant
Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options
Personal spending habits
in general the life in Estonia is still a bit cheaper than in Austria. The reason why I am spending more money for housing here than at home is that I am living in a student residence at home and here I have my own flat near Old Town and the university.

Personal comments
do not think that shopping is so cheap hear, that's not true! The well known brands sell their clothes for the same price as in other countries and there are no low budget fashion shops (like H&M)
