-Who are you and where do you come
from?
I’m Lilia Mendes from Portugal. I
have studied two years in university in Portugal and now I’m an exchange
student in Laurea Hyvinkää. I have been here since september 2013 and still
living here. My decision to come to Finland was based on a few things I heard
about Finland. Finland has very good infrastructure and styuding methods and my
teachers recommended this school. Finland’s cultur is also totally different
than Portugal’s, so I was interest to get to know that.
-What kind of study system do you
have in Portugal? Also projects or lectures?
In my university we have basic lectures
and exams. Now when I’ve been here, I have studied in projects with other
students. I think this P2P programme, working in projects, is good because you
can create contacts and you get the real feeling about working with something.
Also I think this programme could be developed a little more. Project teams
could visit companies and discuss with employees about their working habits and
systems and that way students could learn more and studying could become more
realistic and active.
-Have you enjoyed your stay here
in Hyvinkää and have you got new experiences here?
I have enjoyed being here a lot. I
have visited new places e.g. Helsinki, Turku, Tallinn and Stockholm. Especially
I like Finland’s winter and snow, which we don’t really have in Portugal. I
also like the nature and peace you have here in Hyvinkää. When I Iarrived here
I got support from international tutors. They helped us to find apartments and
showed us the city. It has also been easy to be here, because everybody speaks
English. Being an exchange student you get to know a country and a city very
easily, so I would recommend this to everybody!
