Everybody loved it, you will too!

Personal recommendation
This University is just GREAT. Teachers aer nice and competent, the administrative staff always ready to help and is really responsive. Concerning the Infrastructure, University of Helsinki is very very modern. You will find more easily an available computer than a desk to study. Don't forget your laptop to connect nearly everywhere on the WIFI.
