I got to learn a very difficult though interesting language as Finnish is. Luckily I had no problems at University as everyone can speak English and most of the advanced courses in IEM are in English

Final comments

It's very nice place to travel to summertime. Nightlife is quite much boring when compared to Italy. Instruction system is good even if can be much more improved. There should be some more interaction between foreign students and local industry.
