I can just recommend the host university. They really took care of the exchange students and during the first week we got all the necessary information.

Travel a lot. Ferries to Stockholm and Tallinn are really cheap. Also go to St.Petersburg. There is a travel agency just for students which offers reasonable trips there, and they even arrange the visa things. Enjoy the first of May (Vappu), the national student's day.

You can study at the other universities as well, as long as you follow 50% of the courses at your host university so this increases the choice of courses a lot.

A quite small university, the relation to the teachers are really cooperative, you get the chance to improve your English. Very good computer and internet facilities, organized travels, organized parties. The office of international affairs is very helpful. There are plenty of interesting courses in English!

Travel tips:
Join the trip to Russia (Moscow, St. Petersburgh) It's really worth to see!
Visit Savonlinna with the castle of Olavinlinna and the ridges of punkaharju (Rent a car and drive around a little bit, there are a lot of places worth to see!)
Rovaniemi on the arctic circle (a small ity with a Santa Clause Parc and Post office, a really interesting museum and rendeer farms and husky riding with a sledge!)
Take the ferry to stockholm and visit this beautiful swedish capital! (I was there 3 times)! Also the ferry is worth to see! (Viking Line - 11 floors with various restaurants and bars, take the buffet when you book the journey!)
Tallinn, the estonian capital is only 2:30 hours with the ferry from Helsinki and has a really nice old town (and cheap alcohol in comparison to Finland)
Helsinki is only about 2 hours from Turku and a quite nice town. (It's enough if you go there for one night!) You can see all sights on one day!
Take an international student card with you, which is valid for the whole study year otherwise you don't get a student reduction on the local buses in Turku.
Ask everything, if you are not really sure, because finnish can be a very confusing language and the people are quite helpful.
I'm sure, you'll enjoy your stay there!
