About Program
Dispel any notions you might have of Finland being a cold, snowy, northern country; it is alive with vibrant culture, outdoor activities, lush landscapes, and the midnight sun. Finnish culture is colorful, with hundreds of arts festivals, a wide range of sporting events, and a balanced mix of small-town life and modern cities.
Common sense, no fuss, and making things work sums up how the Finns operate. Finland will stay with you long after your study abroad program. And be ready for anything: you will be placed anywhere between the northernmost village Utsjoki and the southernmost town of Hanko, and throughout Finland.
