I wish I had known...
I wish I had known more Finnish and more about their slightly reserved manner - cultural awareness. Finns are the most wonderful friends you can have but they need to take a while to get to know you first, don't take it personally

The Finnish language was very difficult to learn but it made my experience so much more valuable and I got my first job at Reuters because of it. I made the absolute most of my time there, with language training, proofreading annual reports, writing for the media and ofcourse the industrial placement and all of my potential employers thought that talking about my experience of Finland was fascinating, and that is what makes a difference at interview. Kokkola Uni has made a huge difference to my career

Take warm clothes with you, especially if you are going in the winter, Kokkola will be very cold! So be prepared, you will enjoy the beautiful country better!

Overall
Overall the University is good with good quality education, the teachers are professionals and they are approachable. The only problem is the location of the University, Kokkola is a small town with limited opportunities for students like jobs and housing beside that it's a good university.
