    My first impressions of Helsinki!

    September 27, 2023 /

    by Chloe Bolton, University of Helsinki, Finland My first two weeks in Helsinki. What a whirlwind.  As you’d probably expect with any destination you’re going to, the first two weeks will be somewhat chaotic, but in an amazing way.  From meeting a whole bunch of people from all corners of Europe to figuring out how the student registration system works, moving into a new flat, getting to grips with the Finnish language and taking in the beauty of the city – you will love it. As things are slowly settling down and classes are starting, I thought I could talk you through what you might expect and experience when moving…

    MITACS Chapter 1: Arrival and settling in

    July 25, 2022 /

    By: Eva Kristinova (University of Regina, Canada, Mitacs Research Internship Scheme 21-22) For those of you who have been following my study abroad journey in France, it might be a little confusing to start reading about yet another trip without a proper closing. Two quick things on that: 1. saying goodbye is always difficult, and so I have been kind of avoiding it, even having left Toulouse behind; 2. who says it’s over?! Oh no, I am not done with France yet! So yes, I hope that inadequate explanation provided at least some closure. Moving on…

So let’s dive into my voyage from Brussels to Toulouse… oh, did I mention it was all by train? Well, now you know (and those of you familiar with the French TGV probably guessed as much from the…
