The official starting date for the EILC
in Oulu is Monday, August 5, 2013. You may arrive any time you want
before this date, starting on Thursday, August 1. We recommend that
you arrive on Sunday around 7 p.m. at the latest, in order to have
time to settle in and have a good night's rest before the beginning
of the course.
If you arrive on Thursday or Friday
during office hours (9-17), you can pick up your keys on campus at
the EILC office. We will also be available at the office for a few
hours during Saturday and Sunday afternoon for your convenience. If
you arrive outside of reasonable hours (= after 7 p.m.), you
can either go a ho(s)tel for the night, or try to arrange for another
student to pick up your keys for you.
We begin the course on Monday, August 5
with a Welcome Ceremony and Orientation Session, during which you
will gain a lot of useful information on your Finnish studies and
other scheduled programme, as well as day-to-day concerns such as
shopping, housing, travelling, and much more!
After the orientation, your student
tutors will give you a tour of the campus and help you familiarize
yourself with your new surroundings. We will also take a bus
downtown, where you can sign your housing lease at the PSOAS office
and buy a monthly bus pass for local buses (heartily recommended if
you want to get around faster than on foot! :))
