I wish I had known...
even if everybody speaks english, i think it would've been best to be able to speak a little bit of finnish (or swedish) before going.

I have also lived in Student Village for over a month, it was quite OK, too. The apartments there are being renovated, however if you get apartment in the older part, you will be sharing kitchen with other people. Student Village is much closer to the university, one saves money on bus tickets - unless you intend to cycle to school every day. Although I must say that not everywhere you can have a chance to ride your bike in -27 Celsius! It was fun!

Awesome experience as you get to know people from all over the world as well as Finns. The cost is much lower than a standard appartment and you are surrounded by people constantly.

although it could have been better I must say that everything worked properly and my bedroom was warm and comfortable. Depending on the place you live in the student village you will find different experiences. I lived close to school but some other appartments are very far and you need a travel card (no use using a bike during the winter if you are not a tough Finn)

Final comments
finland is a very beautiful country and the people are very nice, but it gets some time to get in touch with them, you need to be patient. travelling is expensive but there are special discounts for students. it is something to do because finland is different from anything else, specially from the european southern countries. one of the things i liked the most was SAUNA, it is something one has to experience at least once in a lifetime

Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
there are many exchange students around, it has been a great experience to get to know them and to learn more about their countries and culture. It is also a pleasant moment when we meet in the common kitchen and chat about everything. One never feels lonely.
