I really loved my stay in helsinki because I met great people. Indeed, I met other exchange students and haad fun with them. But I really liked the fact that the student Union of the university really cared bout exchange students: I had 2 tutors who helped me opening a bank account, buying a phone but also went out with the exchange students. The students of the university are very welcoming, that is why you should go there!

I discovered a culture different from mine and it was a great experience. indeed, I became a sauna addict! I visited a country I didn't know which is very beautiful: I went to Lapland and saw reindeers. I also went to St Petersburg with the university and i visited Stockolm, Copenhaguen, Bergen and Tallin myself. I also spent a week-end with other exchange students in the Lakeland. All these trips were amazing

Nightlife in Mikkeli is fairly entertaining despite the small size of the city. There is not many clubs in the city, however it is nice because there are rarely any lineups. The small size of the city means you need only to take a taxi when it is very cold, otherwise it is only a fifteen minute walk to any of the clubs. There are some events which you must do while studying here. First of all is the cruise to Stockholm. It is very cheap, there is cheap beer in the tax free shop, and Stockholm is a beautiful city to visit. Other places of interest are Tallinn, St. Petersburg, and Lapaland.

Personal recommendation
Wonderful experience. The teaching at school is great and the student association is even better! Amazingly well organized and events all the time: parties of course, but as well company visits and presentations, sport tournaments, sliding and skiing days, free movies, theater, opera & hockey game tickets at the best prices, cottage week-ends, trips ... Don´t have time to get bored!! Wide range of choices, among all possibilities offered you will for sure find something which will fits you!

Don´t be afraid about the weather in the winter! It rarely rains, so the cold is "dry" and it feels different. You will survive it without any trouble! Travel: Cruise to Stockholm , Tallinn in Estonia (ferries every day: departure at 8 in the morning and return at 22.), St Pertersburg, and to stay in Finland: Lapland.

Housing
Type of housing: A room exchange
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I would go to the same place because I shared an appartment with other students. And many exchange students were there.

Personal comments
I was very lucky because I didn't have to look for an accolodation myself. Moreover, most of the exchange students going to my school were living there: it was a means to meet people! I had the opportunity to share an appartment with 2 students and it was a great experience. The location of the accomodation was quite good: it took 5 minutes by train to go to the centre of the city.
