Swedish School of Economics and Business Administration, Helsinki (SHH)

Finnish food is a litttle more expensive than in France. Telephone bills are higher because of international communications. And Internet is useful but you sometimes need to hear your family or boy/girlfriend. My accomodation was really cheap: 1412 FIM with electricity , heating and water included. Travelling is one of the main activities for foreign students in Finland. If you want to make the traditional trips, you had better save money before coming. Personnally, I went to Stockholm for a one day trip (125 FIM by boat), Tallinn (35 FIM by slow boat), Saint Petersbourg (around 1200 FIM for a three day trip: everything include even the visa), Lapland (400 FIM by train).

price level in nordic countries is about 30 - 50 % higher than in Central or Western European countries

finnish prices are higher than austrian ones

The price level is significant higher in Finland compared to Austria (in most cases).

Finland has a higher price level, you phone your family at home and of course you take the chance to travel.

FINLAND IS A VERY EXPENSIVE COUNTRY. AND CONCERNING TO TRAVELLING... I DID MORE THINGS THAN I NORMALLY WILL DO IN MY COUNTRY
