Student Life
The students I met with reported feeling very safe in Helsinki. I experienced the same. It was dark much of the time I was there, and I never felt uncomfortable walking around by myself. The students joked that a drunk person on the street is more likely to sing to you than harass you. The drinking/singing combination is evidenced by the popularity of karaoke as well as sitz parties. Sitz parties sometimes include a seated meal but always include singing—and often even songbooks! Then there are the coveralls... Each school in Finland is assigned a color for coveralls. Students wear them to parties and decorate their coveralls with the patches they get from different events (a bit like a girl scout sash). I have to admit, I don't think it's the best look but the students are super enthusiastic about this tradition.
Housing
HOAS is the student housing provider in Helsinki. Housing is not guaranteed, but priority is given to international students. Rent ranges from 241-564 euros per month and is usually around 300 euros a month. A few tips from students: 1. Apply early. As soon as you are accepted,2. Be sure to check the box on the application saying that you would not have a place to live without housing. 3. Request housing for a couple of months before you need it (which evidently makes it more likely that you will receive it when you do need it).
