By everyday communication with the international students and teachers I improved my spoken English, now I am able to express myself fluently also on the business (field of my studies) topics. I like the country and the local people so my stay in Finland encouraged me to start studyinf Finnish - Ive been already attending classes of Finnish language for two semesters.

There are many places in the city where you find a lot of exchange students. For example Cafe Europe is very famous with exchages. Koti bar is one of my favourites. Its very homely - koti means home in finish- and there are also a lot of finish people there. There are a lot of night clubs. Some good, some bad ones,but that always depends on what someone prefers.

Very good. Lots of exchange students and international students in the place I stay. Many students activities help me to really get involved in the social life and culture.

In Tampere, there are many good bars such as Passion bar, and Cafe Europe. Also, nightclubs such as Onnela, Bebop, and Trendi are the best places to go to in Tampere.

Overall

I wish I had known...

No. My host university was communicating with me regularly since the approval of my application. Tutor from the student organisation wrote me few detailed emails about my arrival, first days, and insider tips.

In my opinion:

Everybody loved it, you will too!
