Didn't like Oulu's nightlife that much, but maybe i missed the right spots. Just went where the group wanted to go... sometimes it was not my style ... but there are a lot of people who like this here!

Be sure to visit Eden spa--it's almost heaven on earth, especially with a big group of friends. The TV room in the red building is also a popular gathering place, especially when Southpark is on!

The language of instruction was English so all the exchange students spoke English. Most of Finnish people speak English fluently, so I never had a problem understanding another person.
