MY UNIVERSITY WAS SWEDISH, WHICH IS A MINORITY IN THE COUNTRY. I REGRET NOT HAVING TAKEN SWEDISH COURSES NOW.

Very positive. This school is not big, but very nice. Students, whoa are Swedish speaking Finns are slightly different than their peers - they are more outgoing, opened for others. Level of instrucions was really very good.
