Get inspired by student life.
The Student Life blog is written by the University of Turku international students and ambassadors who share their study experiences and glimpses into their life in Turku.
The blog posts include tips on:
- how to get settled in Turku and Finland,
- housing options,
- free time activities,
- different degree programmes, and
- what to do after graduation.
All posts are the personal views of our student bloggers and do not reflect the opinion of the University of Turku as a whole.
