it was easy to enroll into xamk studies despite burocracy finnish goverment puts on the studies ( i have to report everything to officials if i join a course) but after the initial paperwork, studying drug abuse or company taxing was suprisingly easy.

Pros
A lot of data,
Cons
Lack of student support in self studies. I´d say edx.org ´s harvard courses were a lot more interesting, especially with the lectures on say Justice. It´s hard to stay engaged with reading only tasks. They dont give enough opportunities to fail; only 2 x.
