Just to update, I was accepted into Eiran Aikuislukio and am now looking for accommodation in Helsinki, thanks for the help given in this topic. 8)

Liked your blog there! :thumbsup:

Your observations reminded me very much of the things I noticed when I used to fly out to Finland from H'row. A trip down memory lane!

Good Luck with everything!

Good luck!

I have visited that Eira high school and talked with Lesley (I forget the last name). A nice man, and seems to be in very good terms with students. The atmosphere there seemed to be very nice.

3 weeks ago I had a PM from the original poster saying he was going back to England and was unlikely to be back.

I replied to him and suggested that for the sake of providing a balanced view to others who are thinking of moving to Finland without many prospects or a clear plan, he might post something on here about his story; i.e. what happened to him.

He hasn't, so before I forget all about the topic, I thought it worth mentioning.

That is all.

A pity. He was so enthusiastic in the beginning.

I wonder what went wrong, and why he didn´t stay in Eiran Aikuislukio. I have visited the school and liked a lot what I saw. And the "adults" there seemed to like it too.

Yep - pity. But at least he tried, you don't always succeed and things don't turn out the way you plan them, even if your plans are clear... that's life for you :wink: My guess is that he might even have succeeded in his secondary school studies, but -based solely on what he's been writing on this forum- living in Hämeenlinna and going to school in Helsinki was perhaps not a good solution in the long run. Well, who knows. I suppose now he is perfect fodder for those who get satisfaction from shooting "told you so" arrows... good luck for yer future Taaremmas if you happen to be reading this :thumbsup:
