Try to be active, and CAREFULLY read all the booklets, handbooks and other sources of information you will be given. I also highly recommend attending Orientation Week for Foreign Students organized in September and January by International Relations Office.

This University is just GREAT. Teachers aer nice and competent, the administrative staff always ready to help and is really responsive. Concerning the Infrastructure, University of Helsinki is very very modern. You will find more easily an available computer than a desk to study. Don't forget your laptop to connect nearly everywhere on the WIFI.

You do good!!! Motivate the people to learn more Finnish - to know
this language is more than nothing the key to Finnish social life.

Travel tips: You have good access to all countries around the Baltic sea;
especially try to visit the Baltic states, and (I regret it was not possible
for me) Russia. Also the north of Finland, Lappi, is really beautiful,
especially in autumn.
And don't miss to rent a cottage ("mökki") with your friends in the lake area, with sauna, swimming, incredible nature. It's the best!

I would recommend this university and this destination to everyone, I had one of the best times of my life over there!nevertheless, courses given in English are only followed by erasmus students, so it is not the best way to meet Finnish students.

I would recommend to have a visa, so that you could go and visit Russia, which is an unforgettable experience! The erasmus students have Finnish tutors, which is a good way to learn a lot about Finnish student life and places to visit.

It's not as cold as it seems. Bus 615, 615T and 615N takes you from the airport to the centre of Helsinki.
