The new exchange students have started their exchange at TAMK.
The first 60 exchangees took part in the
Exchange Student Orientation on 4 – 5 January 2012. Altogether, there will be
130 new students arriving during the spring.
And the new exchange students brought the
winter with them!
At
Christmas, we barely had any snow in Tampere. And now we have some 50 cm and
blizzards almost every day!
So the weather is quite different from what
the students are used to…
Or then not:
-The climate is just like at home, say Valeriya
Pozdeeva and Tatiana Geraymovich, who come from Syktyvkar Forest Institute,
Komi Republic of Russia, 1000 km northeast of Moscow.
- The education system is very different:
education concentrates very much on practice here. In Russia, it is theory,
theory, theory. And we have no foreign students in our university.
- We like TAMK because it is so modern. All
we need is here: computers, printers, cafe. People speak very good English. And now
we know people from all around the world: Spain, Germany, Mexico, China…
