I wish I had known that the winter ends at the beginning of May and that at the beginning of January there is very little sun in Finland.

There are many different journeys organized by the university and I would recommend to take part in all of them because they are worth of this.

Don't drive too fast because the penalty is very expensive (more than 130 EUR.)
Take your skis.
Go to Lapland and to Aland Islands.

Overall
I've been studying with logistics major. In JAMK (my university), there are some excellent teacher, but the rest are also fine and kind-hearted. The environment is dynamic, obviously a chance to practice foreign language (English, Finnish). The curriculum is interesting and sufficient.

Go and see Russia and Estonia, these places are really nice and not like we westerners are used to. Also keep in mind that Finnish people are normally not big talkers (especially guys). Don't take that personal and take time to build a relationship.
