Housing
HOAS is the student housing provider in Helsinki. Be sure to apply for housing as soon as you are accepted, as demand is high. Rent ranges from 241–564 euros per month (generally around 300). A tip from students: be sure to check the box saying that you would not have a place to live without housing and also request housing for a couple of months sooner than you need it (which evidently makes it more likely that you will receive it when you do need it).

Notes
There are several buildings throughout Helsinki—all are easily accessible by the tram. The buildings are modern and well maintained. 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.
