the issue that host university provides housing is very comfortable, the housing is really good, the room could look better with more up-to-date facilities, but all the things there are really good

Final comments

For sure buy bike, second-hand one (about 50e, not more!!!) Tallinn, Riga - great places to see. Quite cheap flights - www.Blue1.com, www.ryanair.com. Use every offered possibility to do something, to travel somewhere.....spend the time in Finland actively.

the biggest plus is that I must use english in everyday life, the biggest disadvantage is that in the same institution are 6 students from the same country, so of cource we speak with each other to our native language & that the language knowledge of some teachers are not so good

If you have free weekend best places to go are: "Radisson SAS" on Friday, "Hot Night Club" on Saturday and "Never Grow Old" on Sunday. During weekdays best places are "Giggling Marlin" on Wednesday and "Karlenhoffi" on Thursday. There is nothing special on Monday and Tuesday.
