No, not really. Just be aware, Finns are really shy about approaching foreigners so don't be surprised if you don't meet many Finns or if they don't want to talk to you. You will meet some and even make friends but just not a lot. Most of the social functions are done within the international community.

This is not the biggest town in the world and as such has its own limitations. Travel is good but a bit expensive. Do not miss the trip to Russia, it is well worth it. The international community is great. It is not too big but not too small so you will get to know a lot of people quite well.

Everything was nice, the most important is the possibility to travel to countries that normally you are not going to travel to, if you live in Spain. Like Russia, Estonia, Sweden etc...

From Lappeenranta it is easy to go Russian, Sweden, Tallin and Helsinki, there are some trips organized by students that are worth it, but to go to Sweden, Tallin and Russia you can also try the travel agencies, they have low cost trips!

the environment is not easy, especially at the besginning and it gets worse as time goes by (night 22 hours a say, cold, snow...) and that's important to be involved from the beginning in the international students community.

“Fantastic Packaging Education”
Sepehr S
Iran, Graduate
Engineering, 2011
Overall
The best and most recent courses about packaging from design to production and quality control. Since Finland is a giant paper producer in the world, most of this program was based on every aspect of paper and paperboard packaging. But also other materials and material interaction with product in general were discussed.
