Personal comments
Definitely visit Cafe Milou on Sunday nights for the live jazz music. Take an excursion to Hailuoto Island if the opportunity presents itself. And for fun, try walking from the city center to the university. It's about 6 km, and the walk is nice.

Have to pay a fee to access home funds. Set up with your bank a person who can transfer funds from your home account to the one abroad as someone has to be present in the home bank to enable this to be possible
