“The best thing in Mikkeli is by far the atmosphere among students, everyone is so helpful and friendly to each other. Also, not to mention the beautiful nature surrounding Mikkeli!”
– Otava, first year student, Finnish
“Mikkeli is a small town but that is what I like about it. Indeed, it makes it a typical and more authentic. I enjoy walking or running in the forest, especially in autumn when nature has beautiful colors. The landscape in Mikkeli, which is a mix of lakes and forests, is very pleasant for me because it is very different from the landscapes of my mountainous regions in France.”
– Eline, an exchange student, French
”What is best in Mikkeli is the warm-hearted people that make this place feel like home. I have made connections here that I will forever value and would not trade my Mikkeli experience for anything else.”
– Renja, second year student, Finnish/Peruvian
“I love the people in Mikkeli; everyone is nice and friendly. Living in a small town, I like how I’m familiar with everyone, from the people in the supermarket to the bodyguards in the bar – haha. Summer in Mikkeli is also one of the most beautiful things that I can imagine. I just adore spending my summer in Mikkeli.”
