In Finland almost everybody speaks a Good English, but at the University that level is even better.
I had no problem with English speakers, on the other hand not everybody speaks English so I had to learn a bit of Finnish for shopping and other kind of things. I wish I had learnt more about this Language (Finnish) but when you know a little of English is easier to communicate using it than using Finnish which is new for you. Anyway you always learn easy sentences and words to survive.

Everyone and everywhere speak English at least at communicational level. Finnish is hard and requires patience but locals are very helpful.
