Helsinki School of Economics (AALTO UNIVERSITY)

PLACES: Night club: Teatteri (24 age limit, at least for guys), Kaivohuone (poolparties, with a pool inside in summertime, from May) CAFES: Cafe Esplanadi (delicious food, reasonable prices, big portions) Cafe Carousel and Cafe Ursula - cafes at the harbour - very romantic, especially second one. PLACES: Suomenlinna - island with a great fortress - very romantic and ambient - very good brewery with very tasty own beer EVENTS: Vappu - 30 April and 1 May parties - unforgettable and amazing how the city and people change during this time.

Accomodation is ok, cleaning and laundry facilities are not good. Do not choose the single appartments near school, they are overpriced and gloomy.

The housing for the exchange student in Finland is very good!

- "Zetor": restaurant (reinder meat and salmon) + dancing bar: worth to see it at least once, typically Finnish atmosphere and fun garanteed! - More classic: "Sokos 10th Floor" and "Torni" to have a drink with a wonderful view on the city. - Trendiest night club: "Kerma" - Best Sandwiches of the city: Cafe Esplanaadi. - Place to be on the 1st of May: Kaivopuisto parc to take part in the huge picnic hold there every year to celebrate the end of the winter.

Choice of central studio apartments for €464 per month and flat shares (Ida/Puistola/Pasila) out of the city centre for €150/€215/€250. If you don't want to pay for the studio apartment, I would choose the flat share Ida.
