Cafe Europa was a nice place, as many international students go there and more importantly, Finns hoping to meet people from abroad also when here. The Irish bar, O' Connells was also a popular haunt of the open-minded.
Such an arrangement would really let me get to know Finnish people. However, many Finns are quite private, I am not sure how well a family would cope with an 'outsider'.

The housing, while I was there, was handled by a company independent of the University. They were very professional and it was quite challenging, to work with the staff. However, they were professional and spoke very good english.
That I should have opted to stay for the full year, and not just half.

This a pretty university. They get alot of visiting lecturers for international relations and this was a major bonus for me. It is wonderful to get a different insight into issues. I had American, Finnish and German teachers.

You will experience a culture shock in Finland. Perhaps the most striking thing for me was how quiet the place is. Words are kept to a minimum Finland and for the talkers among you, it could well be an incrediably frustrating place to live. However, many Finns, though reserved were welcoming and hospitable.I hope to go back and stay in a cabin by a lake someday.
Course are often run in as intensive two or three hour classes over two or three weeks culminating in a tesst of some kind. This was quite a change for me. However this system allowed me to plan travelling between blocks of class. You must sign up for classes, find a noticeboard relevant to your courses and watch it for announcement of courses.

Some courses were quite relaxed and while this fostered debate and participation in the class room, there was often a lack of discipline. Lecturers were often VERY difficult to meet with outside class times. Office hours for meeting students were regularly flouted.

Most young Finns speak english, this is pretty good. However, speaking to begin with is not their strong suit, so it was challenging to make Finnish friends even if they spoke English. I really recommend learning some basic Finnish.
Nightlife is VERY expensive, so people tended to invite people to their home to socialise. Tickets for events were also costly. Fresh vegetables are also expensive.Calling home cost alot, but good internet access offset this.

Be very careful to supply a date of leaving to your housing company. You must send them written confirmation at the start of your last month.Many students were charged an extra months rent because they were a few days late in supplying notice of their leaving. The housing system is quite rigid in its application of contracts.
