“Small university”

Huyen N

Finland, Undergraduate
Business Studies, 2019

Overall

This university gives you enough basic studies that you need to know. Professors are nice but sometimes I want to study from different professors in order to know different angle of study.
Our studies always limited in the campus. There are not many chances to go outside to experience, or at least watch how the companies or business is doing.

Pros

Comfortable and well-equipped facilities

Cons

Lack of practical training, not motivative enough

Housing

Type of housing: With a family

Arranged by: Independently - My choice

If returning, I would choose: With a family

Why?

While you stay in the family it's easier to integrate into the foreign environment and to learn about culture of the family and leaving habits
