The fact that learning in Finnland don't need school fee attracts me so much but I still have some questions.

Is cost living for students in Finnland more expensive in some other countries like New Zealand or Australia, ... ?

For university, how much I have to pay for cost living a year ?

Moreover, Finnland is very cold and I can suffer coldness not very well. Should I choose Finnland to study ?

Looking forward to the answer, thanks ^^!

Sounds great, congratulations!

It wasnt as complicated and challenging as i imagined...Thanks god that i has gone through it:D.  I saw my name in the list of admitted students 2010 in the website of Savonia uni yesterday. This means i will go to Finland this August as planned... so excited now cos this will be the 1st time i go abroad. A new life is waiting for me, yay!!!!

How did it go for you? Was it difficult? Comments, anyone?

I don't really have any advice for the exam, just avoid too complicated sentences which cause more mistakes. Your English seems to be good anyway so you should be ok.

Student life usually quite cheap (at least cheaper than for non-students!) in Finland and student apartment are very nice. For example, every student has always own room and all rooms have quite thick walls so they feel more like own apartment than own room. See this thread for more info: http://www.duhocphanlan.info/VF4rum/index.php?topic=4.0

Everyone in Finland speaks English ok. You can manage in any city with English. Work is different, if you are in customer service most companies require you to be able to speak in Finnish. However, there are jobs which don't require that, but not so much of course

You can study economics in English in Finland in some universities, but usually you need to have BBA or similar degree before already before applying to Masters. Contact yenchi.tran@edulinks.com.vn for details. Sorry for answering this late!

hi Jani,
Im Lucy, am applying for a Bachelor degree of International Business at Savonia uni. I wanna ask you about the living condition for International students...quite confused about this stuff. I heard that it's quite hard for overseas students to get a part-time job there if they dont speak Finnish well, is it true? do Finnish communicate in English? Also, about the city where my uni is located, is the cost of living expensive?  and is it easy to find a part-time job there?

Hi there,
I'm Lucy, i'm applying an International Business course in Savonia Applied Science Uni, and have to pass the entrance exam held in April this year. I am now reading the pre-reading text which is for the writing, reading and interview. I think i can handle such parts, but the thing is i dont have any experience for this exam. So could any one give me some advice for this exam? i will be very grateful for that
Cheers,
Lucy
