Exchange student from China 11.10.2016 Hello my name is Huang Xiaoqin. I am an exchange student from China. I study BIT in Lapland UAS now. Since I studied here I have made a lot of friends with different culture and they tell me many interesting things that I have ever heard. Before I come here, I was worry about language gap. I was afraid of that I cannot express own ideas clearly and follow classmates and teachers completely. However, it is actually fault. Everyone care my ideas and be fond of helping me. I need not worry about the problems of study and life. The scenery around Lapland UAS is so beautiful. I enjoy to take pictures with my friends here. On this Halloween, Student Union organized a party for all of us International Students. We dressed up to scare other else, at the end of party we have chosen out the most scary one. Most homework is required to work with other students. It is a good way to learn how to work with individuals well. In another hand, we can gain different ideas from group members with different culture backgrounds. Before Christmas Vocation, School tutor organized us to visit Santa Claus Village in Rovaniemi. I experienced a different Finnish culture and tasted the local food in there. I believe I enjoy this nordic ambience. I really like the teaching methods of Lapland UAS, it mainly organizes students work together, not only let students learn the knowledge but also show them how to work in a team. In the future, when we graduate from university, we have to work with different colleagues. This is the reason why I think it is good to pick up this skill in the school. Many outdoor activities are also help us to care our life and enjoy it. School life is not only about learning knowledge from teachers, it also about learning from our life and schoolmates. At Lapland UAS, you should not worry you cannot follow the life here. In general, Lapland UAS staffs take care of their students very much. They are very warm and friendly, so you can ask them any questions that you want to know. If you want to become a Lapland UAS student, you can get more information on our school website.
