I will start by decribing the campus. In fact, it is where all starts (the campus itself is awsome, but that's another story for another time ;b). As an erasmus, you get one person for a group of tutors in charge of you during your whole eramus time (admisitrative procedures then mostly nightlife activites). First, the campus takes you for free for a Porvoo and Helsinki bus tour, you visit the main campus (Pasila) then go to pre-party in the Event Planning speacialied campus of Haaga (also in Helsinki) with other ersmuses from different campuses, before crashing in the Welcome to Erasmus club party. And That is only the start...
Every other wednesday, we have a party in one of Porvoo's clubs. Since alcohol is quite expensive in Finland, we always make home pre-parties with AlcoGames, loud music and all you could imagine for a pre-party (Yes all :)). Once everyone is "smashed" enough to move on, we head for the club. Otherwise, there is always some party happening in students' appartements or residence. The most notorious in the matter is called by the student community of Porvoo "Kevari". There is, where all the best memories of my erasmus group's are packed. All erasmuses live in the same building, and there is three other buildings around it for the universities' permanent students.
In addition, there is many special parties all over the semester that gathers hundreds of student. Exemples, PPKK/PPMM which a cruise party boat for students of Porvoo and Haaga (one night). The Pirates of the Baltic Sea, which gathers all erasmus students all over Finland and neighboring countries, with about 1600 ersmuses on board (Yes crazy, and two nights :)), etc. etc. I couldn't finish writing about how much the university is doing for students (Yes Finns like to party and they show it!) and all the nightlife students create by themselves. But only things remains for this experience, the feeling it gave at the end, and that is total satisfaction (and probably a dead liver xD).
Finally, GO FOR ERASMUS, GO TO FINLAND!
