Helsinki School of Economics

Well, in Finland almost everybody speaks English. So there are, in general, no communication problems. I participated in two Finnish language courses but did not really used the language because everybody speaks English. Another thing is that most of the exchange students don't speak Finnish but English and usually you spend most of your time with them.

I think I drank my most expensive beer in Helsinki:)

Do as much as you can and participate in all KY events and trips! From Helsinki you can easily go to Tallinn, Sweden, or St. Petersburg. Finland itself is a very beautiful and interesting country with friendly people and many cultural habits! Take your chance and enjoy a very bright and hot summer and a very dark and cold winter.

They offer many possibilities and less or more money. You can also live in a KY students appartment, which is very cheap and nice. However, the scholl organizes the housing for each exchange student, which is very good.

I liked the HUT Tennis Club, which organized many activities throughout the year (also night events). The music festival in the summer, Lapland at any time, and the country life in a cottage should not be missed. Sauna and ice-bathing are a must:) Best cafes / bars: Molly Malones, Theateri, and Wayne's Cafe. But many others are excellent as well! Don't miss to go to Suomenlinna, a small but beautiful Island near Helsinki (15 Min. by boat).
