1. Student accommodation

Generally, domestic students will prefer to choose the dormitory provided by the school during their freshman status, because the accommodation needs to be determined before going abroad, and the dormitory reservation can be made directly online, which is safe and reliable, and it is also convenient to check in after arrival.

But the dormitory is actually very inconvenient, especially when people need to live with people of different nationalities, and they will face all kinds of life frictions caused by cultural differences, so most students will choose to move out and rent their own houses after the dormitory is scheduled to expire.

Second, students can enjoy exclusive discounts when eating

The canteen can enjoy a high discount with the student ID card, and the government will subsidize the canteen, which is similar to that in China, and the types of choices are relatively complete, but unfortunately, there is no Chinese food, so if you want to eat, you can only go out to eat or cook it yourself.

However, the canteen is not open all day, usually from noon to afternoon, and it is concentrated between 11: and 18: . Only some schools will open on weekends, and the average price of a meal is between 2-3 euros, which is cost-effective and convenient. Don't eat out easily, it will be very expensive.

Third, students travel

Buses, subways and trams are all within the scope of monthly tickets, so it will be more convenient for everyone to get a general monthly ticket directly, and the difference in cities will bring about different pricing, generally between 3 and 35 euros a month.

The pace of study and life is actually not fast here, so you can also choose to ride a bike, which is also one of the favorite modes of travel for local people. As long as you have enough time, you can choose to ride a bike without spending money and causing no pollution to the environment.

Fourth, students go shopping

The fashion in Finland is simple. From the hot Nordic style, we can see that in daily life, the residents of our country don't really like lively colors, so we should also take this custom into account when shopping after we arrive.

But when shopping, remember to look for a discount first. Generally, shopping malls will release promotional information in advance. After you confirm the time, you can arrange your shopping trip. Of course, there will be a certain discount when you pay by credit card.
