Finland; A Great Place to Be

Finland is known for its excellent education system and for being ranked the happiest country in the world for nine years in a row. But is this really true?

Well, living in Finland is not always easy. The winters can be harsh, with freezing temperatures both day and night. Darkness surrounds you for months, and sometimes it feels endless.

Then comes summer — the complete opposite. The sun barely sets, and daylight lasts almost all night. You may wonder: when are people supposed to sleep? And let’s not forget the mosquitoes…

All of this is true. So how can Finland still be the happiest country in the world?

Let me explain.

Imagine taking an evening walk along a peaceful street in your neighbourhood, with nobody around to disturb you. Imagine walking into a nearby forest to pick fresh berries whenever you like. You can feel the clean, fresh breeze on your face and enjoy the silence of nature.

Did you know that Finland is one of the countries with the cleanest air in the world?

Did you know that Finland is one of the countries with the cleanest air in the world? The lakes and fresh waters are everywhere, inviting you to take a refreshing swim during the summer.

When it comes to education, Finland is definitely worth noticing. The Finnish education system supports children from early childhood all the way to university level. Education is accessible, high-quality, and designed to support students’ wellbeing and development.

Finland is truly worth visiting — and maybe even worth taking a chance on, if you dare. Why not study in Finland? You can apply to study here, build your career, and experience the country for yourself to see whether Finland really lives up to everything you have read and heard about it.

I have many favourite places in Finland. I love the forests and the lakes, but guess what else? Libraries.

Every city has beautiful libraries full of books, activities, and welcoming spaces. You can even enjoy a cup of coffee while reading the newspaper or your favourite magazine. Libraries are especially important during the gloomy autumn evenings. You can meet friends there, study quietly, or simply escape into another world through a good book.

From dark winters to endless summer nights, Finland is a country worth discovering.
