Best disco was night train, but I prefer the Students party.
My favorite Pub was O'Connel and Cafè europa and a jazz Bar in front of the main
bridge.
The best place to eat if at the canteen makes Italian food, ESSBURGER, in front of
the University main building

Finnish is a very different language, pretty hard to learn. But even if you don't speak it, it won't be a big problem to live Finland (the knowledge of English there is pretty good)

It's always up to what kind of company you have around. Even though I am in really cool place, if friends who hang around with me are not good, it's not special at all. In Tampere, I prefer to have a picnic with friends next to lakes and cycle through forest.

Personal comments
The housing in Tampere is done by Toas, it's an student appartment with individuals rooms but shared kitchens and WC. But it's clean (not a lot after parties...), there is gym, common room and good ambiance... i can't demand more! and there is only students!

Course recommendations
Try to find out in advance from older students what a course is about because many of them have overlapping schedules and you don't want to miss the most suitable one, do you? :-)
