Student experiences

Will it snow in Finland? That was one of the first questions my friends asked me before coming for a visit. I was trying to type in my phone, but my fingers were so frozen that I thought it would be better to answer later.

When I chose the courses for my exchange, I was missing 5 credits. I saw a course called Business case consulting training, read through the course description, and chose it without giving it much further thought. I did not expect this course to become the centerpiece of my semester abroad and being one of the most useful courses I have taken in my studies so far.
