MAKE YOUR MOST OF THE TRIP. IT´S A GREAT EXPERIENCE IF YOU OPEN YOUR MIND. BUT IT ALL DEPENDS OF YOU. YOU ALSO HAVE TO MAKE SOME EFFORTS AND SACRIFICES: NOT EVERYTHING IS DONE FOR YOU. YOU HAVE TO MOVE!!!

the nightlife in helsinki is very expensive and they make u queu everywhere. we made our own pre-parties before going somewhere. our favourite places afterwards were pravda, sauna bar or molly mallones. our student union also organized great parties.
