Read About the Life of Exchange Students
Two exchange students who started their studies in the University of Turku in the autumn 2013 share their views about living and studying in Finland and especially in Turku in a new blog that can be found at the university’s website. French Camille and South Korean Haneul didn’t previously know each other but now they share a blog called Student life at the University of Turku.

– I expect this year to be really great. I am looking forward to meeting nice people, and having a lot of fun, Camille says.
Haneul comes from Seoul, the capital city of South Korea, where she was born in the year 1992. She arrived in Turku at the beginning of August.
