Course recommendations
There was just one course instructured in Englisch for my field of study and this was the English Course. So studying in Oulu was a little bit disappointing for me, because I would have liked to see how seminars, lectures etc. are done in Finland.

I had a great time; I met many nice people! Studies have been a little bit disappointing, but I had a nice period of practical training.
Teachers have been flexible and helpful and also the other students. Sometimes the languages differences have been a problem.
