home banking!!! open a discount in a Finnish bank and transfer your money by using home banking to this account, so you don't have to pay if you want to get cash

Finland is a very clean country and the accommodations are very new. I don´t think you could ask for more as a student.

Personal comments
Kharma is the most popular club for exchange students."Gigglin Marlin" is also nice but you need twenty two to get in for both of them.
If you want to have a good cup of cofee, memphis is there. Hemingways is also a nice palce when you want to play pool while you are drinking a beer.
For jazz music, the jazz bar is a very nice place, where groups are playing everyday during the week.

Finnish students and the teaching body speak English quite well- even the library staff! Outside campus it's sometimes helpful to be able to express your desire in Finnish!
