Tampere is great. Helsinki is OK but a bit too far away. Train links are excellent. Taxis are expensive. 2 nightclubs in Hameenlina town. You have to be over 21 or 22. Bummer when you are 20.
Si j'y retournais je choisirais: Appartement/maison
Pourquoi?
It gave enough privacy but still close to University and all local amentities. Plus chance to meet locals as most living in same block were students. I actually shared an apartment with a Finnish girl.

There was great effort to get us to learn Finnish with Finnish language and culture lessons which were interesting. Most Finnish people have Finnish as their second language so communication was OK, just a little lack of confidence from some people, I guess they dont get the opportunity to speak to many English people over in Hameenlinna.
Not being able to buy alcohol in the supermarket! Only in ALCO shops which are open on certain days and times.

A definate Scandinavian experience. I wouldnt go alone unless your very social and confident. Locals can be shy and hard to approach. International students are easier to get along with. Especially the Germans! They are mad party people! But so are the Finns, take time to get to know them, their culture is interesting and they will find you fascinating too!

Plan how you will get from the airport to the campus (we were not collected and got a bus which took a few hours). If you are going in winter bear in mind it can reach -10 degress and be VERY thick snow cover, you will need winter boots and thermal underwear. Alcohol is expensive. Supermarkets are basic. Buses are usually on time! So are trains.
Overall costs were slightly higher but this was taken into account with the grant received from Erasmus. Food was expensive, as was eating/drinking out. Small things like taxi's can be costly.

Shop at local markets. Plan bus routes, get yourself a student card to get discounts on trains and buses. Use student offers in bars and clubs.
