Bebop and Café Europa were my favorite spots in Tampere, though generally you will go to one spot according to where the party is.

Personal comments
Housing at this university is a little bit like a russian roulette: you can be very lucky or very unfortunate. I was more or less in the middle, living a little bit far from university but not too far, as other students. Anyways, just the fact that they look for a flat for you and save you that problem makes it worthy.

If you are going to Finland you should not be worried about Finnish language, because everybody speaks English. And by everybody I mean EVERYBODY, even old people.
