City of Helsinki
Helsinki is a very safe, modern, and green city with half a
million friendly folks. Everything here is within easy reach and things work here. Helsinki was recently nominated as the Most Liveable City in the World by the Monocle magazine.
In addition to being the capital city of Finland, Helsinki has a
reputation of being a vibrant city
for students. With several higher education institutions in the Helsinki area and 60 000 university students, it is well set up to cater to the needs
of students from all walks of life.
