at first time I had fear because I didn´t speak english so well, but I have got a good level for being able to solve all problems that I had got. However It was difficult trying to learn finnish because they use another alphabet and a so strange grammar.

Personal comments
It was a nice single room, the flat was not so big. I shared with other two students. The suburb, Hervanta, was not so nice, and I had to take the bus every day to go to the university.

Not really, one has to be prepared to push their academic goals and Tampereen Illiopisto seemed to encourage this.
