At the beginning it was quite difficult because i had never been abroad and spoke in english with other people so i was not used to do it, but little by little it is becoming easier and also people here have been a great help for me to learn.

Everything was expensive. Best idea of cost saving is the contact with tutors. This applies especially for alcohol. Cheapest at student parties (otherwise very expensive)

A nice night spot was "Parkki" which is a place where all parties of the Turun Kauppakorkeakoulu take place. There were also other nice spots like "the old school" and "the old bank". Blanko is a popular spot as well. Events not to be missed are these "little Xmas parties".
