Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Share an apartment with other foreign students it´s basically the best for study, for learning the language and for keeping a certain level of independence.

First of all it was a great personal experience because I made quite a lot friends there during that period. The location was perfect ( less than 10 minutes walking from the university) and the facilities at the apertment were really good.

Personal comments
Helsinki has an important night life. Nice spots are Helsinki Club, SODA, Pravda, Amarillo and Molly Malone Irish bar. Kaivopuisto park it´s a nice place that have to be visited as many other like the harbour, the cathedral....Concerning events.... when you are in a foreign country everything has to be basically followed.
