The reason half the world is flocking here is the free/cheap education.

Canadian that WAS in Finland for a few years. I could have been insulated, but Finns came across as surprisingly international and it almost seemed like a norm to study elsewhere and (likely) return home when they wanted to settle down. I also half-joke a lot of Finns tend to import their partner too whether it be from studying abroad or just meeting someone online.

I do not have up to date information, but after Brexit, EU students not under the settlement scheme (= EU citizens not living in the UK prior to Brexit) would pay the full international student tuition fee, which back then were something like £12,000/year as I recall. On top of that you’d also need to cover living expenses.

Honestly If you have the grades and pedigree for it and can crack a tier 1 university in UK (Oxford, Cambridge) absolutely take it over anything in Finland. You’ll catapult yourself into the upper echelons of society at a global level and can land a grad role in tier 1 firms in London.

Not surprising Estonians wanna study in Finland, esp cause of their similar languages.

I would’ve thought Estonia is higher, I guess that’s on the list of where people actually study. I think England is by far the number one, almost everyone I know who studies/studied abroad does it in England. Except for some people in Estonia.
England is quite an obvious choice:
A) the language is in English
B) the amount of top schools and programs
As a finn you either study abroad for a top degree, or then you study abroad because you couldn’t get a spot in Finland.
