Erasmus Experience in Oulu, Finland by Antoine

Why did you choose to go to Oulu, Finland?

To experience the North of Europe as it seemed quite difficult wrap my head around about how Northerner lives!

How long is the scholarship? How much money do you receive to help you with living costs?

My scholarship last 9 month and I received about 2000€ from my country and Erasmus+.

What is the student lifestyle like in Oulu?

Like you imagine future Erasmus! Party in the Erasmus students buildings, Parties in Clubs, bars, Outside (when it's warm! ), Sauna drinking, and amazing cottage to rent with others students!

Would you recommend the city and the University of Oulu to other students?

Yes, it's a warm place even when it's -10°C! The Finnish are hard to know, but friendly during the night! And the Erasmus student will always be there to do things!

Is the language easy to get to grips with? Are there language courses available at the University?

Finnish is maybe the hardest European language, so definitely no!
