[@amidatadewumi7337]

How did you do it pls? Help Did you move to Finland before u applied ?

[@Queenchidiebere1]

@@amidatadewumi7337 No. I applied from Nigeria

[@oghoghotobore8255]

Though i just stumbled on your channel, this is great. At least you didn't do video for only those who understand your language. Just got yourself one subscribe from Nigeria 🎉.

[@Likecyriously]

Glad you liked it!

14:26 Regarding translation: If you use the Google Chrome browser, there is an option to add translation. So, for example, every time you visit a non-English website, you can have Google translate it for you. You can then toggle back and forth between the translation and the original. I live in Sweden and use it all the time. It’s super convenient!

[@Likecyriously]

Thanks for that👍

[@safiazafar904]

Very informative video you make. You explain even a single expense of students.

This time I tried filling the form for admission. But within 1.5 hrs of starting the application. The application for 500 students was full nd they were not taking more applicants. Can you tell about it.

I look forward to your vlogs! is there a hävikki grocery there in Vaasa? where you spend 10 euros for a good amount of food?

[@Likecyriously]

Im not sure about this one

[@ItsStrawberryShortCake]

@@Likecyriously is Vamia accepting students on their 40s? Or they prefer younger? I am wondering if all your school mates are below that age.

[@anithafrancis5092]

You are doing a fantastic job giving very useful information to the students who want to study in finland. What about the local language? Is it possible to get a job in finland after one has done the masters in their university and does one require the local language to get an employment. Is finland developed like other parts of Europe. Your guidance is appreciated. Thank you very much and God bless you for all the good work you do ❤

[@Likecyriously]

I will talk about vaasa here, so for students without finnish and swedish language skills, its a bit tough to get a proper part time job as its a very small city and jobs are very limited. There are however odd jobs available such as house keeping and paper delivery etc. Vaasa compared to helsinki is very small and less international companies here which unfortunately means less jobs for immigrants

[@Pauliinanmaailma]

I'm a finn. Staying in Finland is difficult because most works require fluent Finnish skills. Many have to move away after their masters.

[@drameabdulrahman2395]

Great job you are doing for students to come, I'd like to ask, how do you send money back home?

[@Likecyriously]

Ill suggest ACE app

[@mahbubelahi777]

I got your channel while I was exploring facts about Finland, I applied as an international student and now I have got admission in Masters in Centria University of applied sciences Kokkola. I will be there in September 2024.I come from India and I am very positive about getting a quality life in Finland. But I am feeling some kind of fear of uncertainty, culture difference, extreme winter conditions and part time job opportunities. I really need some guidance in order to survive in a completely new environment.I shall be thankful if you can give any reference or contact in Kokkola to get an overall idea.thanks
