Do not hesitate to meet people and to ask for help because Finnish people are very friendly and exchange students experience the same as you.

Personal comments

Finnish is an hard language but its knowledge is absolutely necessary if you really want the courses to be useful, because they're almost all in finnish (that's quite normal). But for foreign students teachers are comprehensive and can prepare exams in others languages if you ask. Almost all the population can communicate in a foreign language.
