Even though I had the cheapest accommodation, it met all my needs. It was a bit chilly in the winter (Finland, of course), but that was due to poor insulation. I guess I was just unlucky since others didn’t have any issues. Aside from that, everything was great. If I needed help, I could just pop downstairs to see my classmates, and we often had student hangouts in the evenings since we lived so close to one another. The proximity to everyone was a major benefit, despite the 20-minute bus ride to school.
