Nightlife is more expensive as well as food etc. I went out pretty much... Of course I spend more on travelling as I was being abroad, but significantly this wouldn't have been more if I was travelling from my home country.

With english you can communicate easlily with all the students and outside student life. Finnish language is difficult to learn so after completing the course you still don't know that much.

Visit Primo, Kino and Blnko as good places to be. As well as the river in summer and its terrasses near the boats. After a day of study drink a pint in Proffan opposite the TuKKK. If you are there take part in the student life, Pikkulaskainen, Vappu are not to be missed.

Housing
Type of housing: at the student village
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: student village
Why?
if I was an exchange student I would choose the same, if not than I would like to live in an appartement more close to the center because they have good facilities comparing to the Dutch student rooms
