Exchange Students' Experiences

Melissa Ribus, KH Kempen, Belgium
Exchange student of Malmi campus

"Through exchange I became more persistent and strong. It is a good opportunity, not only to study abroad, but also to improve your language skills, meet new people, and live new experiences that you will never forget. I didn’t expect exchange to do so much for every aspect of my life but I’m pretty sure my decision to go to Finland was the best I’ve ever made." Read more

Julia Drzevitzky, NHTV Breda University of Applied Sciences, Netherlands
Exchange student of Haaga campus

"My experience here in Finland has been very positive. People are helpful and communicate in English with me. Top moments of my exchange have been petting a reindeer and experiencing a proper winter with a lot of snow and ice for the first time in my life." Read more

Luis Alfredo Chávez Cabrera, Tec de Monterrey – Mexico City, Cuernavaca, Mexico
Exchange student of Pasila campus

"I chose Finland as I had read a lot of positive things about it – the quality of education, the good economy. I also knew that Finland is home to some of the world’s best technologies, quality education and has a good business environment. After studying a few months at HAAGA-HELIA I understand other cultures better. We study in multicultural teams and different languages and different points of view are part of every day studying."

Christopher Greenslade, Solent Southampton University, UK
Exchange student of Porvoo campus

"Finland is an "ideal society” where there is not much crime, people are friendly, where it is clean and things are like they should be. In other words, it is safe, the systems work, homelessness and poverty are not visible. For example you can leave your bag unattended and no one steals it. People are approachable and being a foreigner is easy. People are generally happy to meet you." Read More

Elina Yumasheva, Bashkir State University, Ufa, Russia
Exchange student of Vallila campus

"I would recommend to choose Finland and HAAGA-HELIA, because there are good facilities for studying and high living standards. Finland is one of the leading knowledge driven economies nowadays and HAAGA-HELIA has close connection to industries and working life. I enjoy being here in Helsinki very much." Read more
