Personal comments
The district was awful. It is considered as the place with the highest suicide rate in Finland. Good atmosphere among exchange students. A lot of parties, talks, trips with them. What I really appreciated is that I didn't do anything else than to pick up a location on a paper and the host university found the place. Great!!!

HSEBA invites a lot of international instructors e.g. John Ladder for Financial Accounting or Randall Powell for HRM which makes the standard or teaching international and just excellent.

Personal spending habits
Finland is a very expensive country: that is why I spent more in food for example. But I live in Paris which is an expensive place as well so the differencce was not that big! I spent more in the travel category because I wanted to discover the country (Lapland, Lakeland) and its region (Russia, Estonia, Sweden)
