almost everybody (even the old people) spoke English very well - so it was never a problem to communicate. It is very difficult to learn Finnish, but it is good to know some basic stuff.

there is a small chance to learn Finnish, specialy if you do not interact with Fins and live in an international dorm. the "bad" thing is that almoust everyone is a good English speaker

Most of finish people speake english very well, therefore it's easy to cope with. A very good point is to get to know different dialects, from international students and locals as well.
