Well, food and alcohol is more expensive. For me housing is more expensive becuase I live at home, but TOAS is not too expensive, believe me. In other cities of Finlands it gets really a lot of money.

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
A flat where you can share rooms with people coming from other countries or from the host country is the best way to adapt yourself to new situations, get to know people's differences of culture and accept them. So that is why I would have chosen the same kind of accomodation.

Personal comments
The accomodation was a few kilometers from the university of Tampere and you needed to take the bus. It was peaceful and well situated.

Personal comments
I am trying to get to know which is for life and which is for pleasure. Both are important, but there's always "priority". I was working as a correspondence for a Korean magazine during last semester, and that helped me a lot.
