Personal comments
Cafe Europa was a nice place, as many international students go there and more importantly, Finns hoping to meet people from abroad also when here. The Irish bar, O' Connells was also a popular haunt of the open-minded.

If you have an internet connection in your appartment, take the very cheap internet subscription at TOAS. Buy your beverages as much as possible in large stores.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
I would prefer to live closer to the University and nearer to my collegues, it would have been cheaper and I would have lost less time in my daily trips.

Personal comments
My major was finnish and after that year I could already manage very well in it. The finnish people I could talk with were helpful and very nice. The lecturer in finnish language didn't want to talk in english even if we sometimes didn't understand and it is the best way to be motivated to learn.
