Most young Finns speak english, this is pretty good. However, speaking to begin with is not their strong suit, so it was challenging to make Finnish friends even if they spoke English. I really recommend learning some basic Finnish.

Expenses
Main source of funding:
An ERASMUS grant
Other sources of funding:
Family<br>
Personal savings
Work opportunities:
I didn't want/need to work
Personal spending habits
The only category in which I spent less were my phone calls - because I had no phone and I could communicate with everybody via email. The rest of it was expensive for me in general as I come from a post-communist country where the cost of living is not so high. As for accommodation it was about 10 times more although I had the cheapest one in town, drinks and parties aren't cheap either for the Finns themselves and I was definitely travelling more than at home because in 5 months I wanted to see everything around and went to neigbouring states as well.

was less expensive than at home.
Accessibility of student needs
Second-hand household items
Personal comments
It is definitely more advantageous to have a local bank account rather than the one at home because your home bank will charge you a fortune for the services.
