Daniel Sánchez Écrit il y a 13 ans

I'm a student from Cartagena (Spain) and I will go to Tampere too in september 2011.

MATHILDE DTL Écrit il y a 13 ans

Great! We Will not be alone =)
im trying to find an appartement, nô sucess. What about you?

Daniel Sánchez Écrit il y a 13 ans

I've been looking for an appartment too, and I think the best choice is to find a TOAS, despite I'm still doubting. The website is www.toas.fi/en (in english)

MATHILDE DTL Écrit il y a 13 ans

Thx. According to the university'website we will have more informations in May.
I have a (stupid?) question, do you speak Finnish?

Daniel Sánchez Écrit il y a 13 ans

not at all. I will try to learn a little bit before going there, but I've been told it's quite difficult. Do you speak finnish?

MATHILDE DTL Écrit il y a 13 ans

Not at all!! Thanks to Youtube I have heard some basic words like "Hi" or "Thanks". Indeed it seems to be so difficult but we have one year to learn it! We just have to hope that people speak English too. Did you choose your courses?

Daniel Sánchez Écrit il y a 13 ans

I hope people speak English too, if not, It's going to be very difficult to me (I'm going to be 3 months in a Hospital there, becauise I'm studying nursery). I don't know where I can learn Finnish and I'm trying to find a place to study the language. What career are you studying?

Reka Bencze Écrit il y a 13 ans

Finnish is not that hard to learn :) I've been learning it for a long now and it's my minor as well at the university.
I have one question for you: how do you all know already that you're going there? the application on the UTA site has just been launched :O

María Vega Écrit il y a 13 ans

Hi everybody ! I'm Samir from paris. University of paris13. I will go to Tampere next year (september 2011) in order to study for 6 months (or 1 year). I wish to know people who want to go too.

MATHILDE DTL Écrit il y a 13 ans

Even if Finnish is not so difficult to learn, English will be more useful :)
The university told me that we can take courses of finnish, but it is not obligatory!!
I will learn for 1 year in Tampere, do not know my courses at all!

Concerning the appartment a friend which is studying in Tampere told me thaht we have to wait for the moment..

András Gyöngy Écrit il y a 13 ans

Hi there!

I'm András Gyöngy from Hungary, TU Budapest and yes, I'll study in the 2012 spring semester at TUT :)
I've alredy got a qestion for You!

I've searched for accomodation in Tampere through the TOAS and I've found that there are shared apartments with 2 or with three beds/rooms. In Hungary I've found a guy who will go to Tampere at the same time and we are looking for a third student, becouse the shared apartments with 3 rooms are cheaper and it would be fun to live in a multicultural atmosphere for a half year.
So is there anybody who wants to be our third flat-mate?

These are the flats:
