Final comments
Save before coming to Finland. It is a beautiful country and there's lots to see, but even though students have 50% discount in transport, still transport is expensive. If you like travelling you are gonna enjoy Finland and thneighbour countries, as long as you can afford it, of course.
To those who smoke I would recomend quitting smoking. Smoking in Finland is forbidden in most places, such as cafes, universities, flats, etc. It is not fun to be smoking outside when is -30 degrees!

Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
All in all the accomodation offered
by the University is really good and you
feel yourself at home in these flats soon.

Personal comments
Like said above, the accomodation is quite comfortable; the flats are in
good locations, they are all equipped with internet, and if you wanted to
change, the people responsible for this are helpful. The disadvantage is,
that in Helsinki the flats are really expensive.
