There's a very high quality of life in Finland and very good conditions for studying (better than in my home university). Go there if you want to experiment something different that you will never forget !

Severely deficient in communicating with its prospective students
Anis B
Australia, Graduate
, 2021
Overall
Holding a bachelor's and two masters' in three different countries, I have dealt with many universities in my life, and I can say this university can't even meet the bare minimum of providing adequate support to its incoming students, particularly international! I've been offered admission, but I am yet to get hold of them to clarify a few essential points and discuss the next steps! The university fails big time to communicate with its incoming students. I keep sending them emails and calling them, but there is hardly any reply. Simply nobody answers the phone or emails at this university. The only time I could get through to someone on the phone, the conversation was very awkward. I asked the lady if I could speak to admissions/study affairs, and she couldn't understand a word of what I was saying. Every time I asked her a question, her reply was: "No, this is the University of Oulu"!!!!!! Unfortunately, I haven't been able to take my offer a step further as I needed critical information regarding enrollment that I couldn't get. Needless to say, I have decided to enroll somewhere else.

Pros
None, since the only experience I have with the university is as an offer holder
Cons
Terrible lack of communication and help for incoming international students
