"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
Exchange student of Pasila campus
Home university: Tec de Monterrey – Mexico City, Cuernavaca, Mexico

"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
Exchange student of Porvoo campus
Home university: Solent Southampton University, UK

"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."
