Comentario personal
There are many places in the city where you find a lot of exchange students. For example Cafe Europe is very famous with exchages. Koti bar is one of my favourites. Its very homely - koti means home in finish- and there are also a lot of finish people there. There are a lot of night clubs. Some good, some bad ones,but that always depends on what someone prefers.

Alojamiento
Tipo de alojamiento: Piso o apartamento
Organizado por: Independientemente - por elección propia
Si volviera, eligiría: Piso o apartamento
¿Por qué?
I would go to the same place I have been again. There were a lot of students living in the same building and this made it much easier to meet new people and socialize.

Comentario personal
TOAS is the organization which helps students to find a flat in one of their buildings. In the building where I live I share a kitchen with all the people on the same floor, which are around 30. The advantage is that you meet people easily and there is always someone to talk to. The disadvantage is that it is not always as clean in the kitchen as I would like it to be - but thats of course not easy with so many people shareing one kitchen.

Costumbres personales de gasto
I spend more money on food, as the prices are higher in Finland than in Austria, especially on fruits and vegetables. Furthermore, in Austria I went home every weekend and then I did not have to buy any food myself at all. I spend more money on going out, as I just have more time to go out and from an academical point of view I am not at all as busy as I usually am in Austria. I also thought this exchange semester would be a good time to travel around. Overall, including my journey back home via France and Germany to visit friends, I will have been to 8 different countries within 5 months.

Comentario personal
For buying food you should go to "LIDL". Although fruits and vegetables are much cheaper there, the quality is much better at any other store. I decided to live a bit healthier and therefore spend more money on proper fruits/vegetables.
You can get every kind of discounts when you go travelling, so make sure you have a student card!

Estudios
Recomendaciones de cursos
Try to choose courses which are mandatory for the finish students. Others are hardly visited by finish students which makes it more difficult to interact with them.

Comentario personal
Choose the courses carfully and try to ask finish students first what they know about the teacher and the course in general.

Si lo hubiera sabido...
No, not really. I talked to students who have been there before, so I guess I was pretty good informed.

Comentarios finales
You can go to Riga, Tallinn and Stockholm really easily and cheap! Don´t miss that chance! There are also organized trips to Russia, which are all in all not really expansive at all...it´s a good opportunity to see St. Petersburg or Moscow.

Comentario personal
After having been for one year in England before, my level of English was very good. As the finish people speak very good English, I thought it would be good to go to another country than England where the level of English is very good. Unfortunatley during my stay I spent most of the time with other exchanges whos English I thought was not that good. Therefore I feel that my skills acutally worsened.
