ICT-City Campus


ICT-City was the first of the university buildings I entered. It looks very nice and modern and is a very good place to study.
On our first day at TUAS we had to gather at the Auditorium Alpha for some general instructions as well as some activities to get to know the other students. It was a very well organized and an excellent program to get to know the school and other exchange students. The first day was some kind of an ice breaker. It made us all more relaxed and open towards each other.

The cafeteria at ICT-city is good and offers some nice food.

The rooms and auditoriums there are modern, clean and well-equipped. Especially the eduroam works very well there compared to other of the campuses.

There is also, a lot of space for students to study or do team meetings for assignments. I really appreciated this space because it made the bigger group assignments easier.

I am really hoping for the students that are currently studying in Sepänkatu campus, that the new campus will be like ICT-city.

Lewis Model

Intercultural misunderstandings and irritations often arise in the non-visible areas of culture. These include values (basic assumptions, world views), communication (styles of speech, listening habits) as well as the notions of time (time sequences, planning, keeping appointments) and space (body language, public/private relations). For successful intercultural cooperation, it is important to be aware of the differences in these areas. It is just not enough to pay attention only to visible characteristics such as rules of politeness, dress codes and eating habits.

Lewis now assigns many countries to these cultural types in a pyramid according to their characteristics. The arrangement makes sense to...

Tornio

Tornio is a city in the north of Finland with 21,875 inhabitants. It is part of the Lapland region and is located right on the border with Sweden at the mouth of the Tornionjoki River in the Gulf of Bothnia. Tornio forms a twin city with Haparanda on the Swedish side. In my opinion, one should always combine a stay in Tornio with a trip across the border to Sweden. The border is close and entry is easy. In Sweden, the prices are cheaper than in Finland. Tornio was for me and my friends the ideal place to stay overnight and served and afterwards as the starting point of our Lapland road trip.

What is this Blog about?

The first of my Blog posts should be used to give you as the readers an idea of what the whole Blog should be about and what the people are that I am addressing it to. The main goal for that this Blog should aim is to make it easier for students that just arrive or will arrive in the future to make their way in Finland and especially in the area of Turku. In the beginning, I am thinking about starting with the general information about the area and later tell you also some more details about places to visit and activities to take part in. I really hope this blog and the corresponding entries will help you to get settled in Turku. I wish you all my very best for you and that you have an unforgettable and very enjoyable time in Finland.
