Hello John! Thank you for all your informative videos. I want to about the Vocational training program. I will be in joensuu in the coming October with my spouse and baby. My question is, can I settle down there with my family after completing my training program. My training program duration is 3years. Thanks

There have been or will be changes to the law with the aim of ensuring that students quickly find employment after graduation. If not, you may be required to leave the country within a few months. It's important to check the latest information on the Finnish Immigration Service (MIGRI) website to stay informed.

Since Helsinki is the capital of Finland I doubt that there is much affordable housing or whatever affordable housing there is it’s sought after. I was wondering how good the public transport system in the Greater Helsinki Region is. Are there any neighbourhoods in Espoo that you should avoid or ones that might be good from a students perspective.

[@JohnofFinland291]

I would say that public transportation in the Greater Helsinki area is among the best in Europe. Hoas has more than 10,000 apartments near educational institutions in Helsinki, Vantaa, Espoo and Kauniainen. Otaniemi is popular among students, but I recommend applying primarily near the educational institution.

You're right that it's easier to find a job in the Helsinki metropolitan area. However, finding a place to live is much harder and significantly more expensive than in the provinces. Tuition fees are also often much higher in the capital. Additionally, getting accepted into universities in the provinces is generally much easier. I recommend adding provincial universities as options after Helsinki. If you’re not satisfied with life in the provinces or need better job opportunities, you can always apply for a transfer to a university in Helsinki after a year. It's usually easier to secure a spot through a transfer application.

Thanks John, are there institutions where they conduct the studies in English to train for mechanic? Really appreciate any guidance you can provide.

[@JohnofFinland291]

Do you mean at which level of education? Vocational school or university of applied sciences? I’ve mentioned all the vocational schools in my Top 5 video... The university of applied sciences has a lot of engineering studies in English.
