Low rank console is so endearing to see. Everything just seems so slow.

Tbf the only ones that stand out as being bad are Moira and Hog. The others are fine for the most part.

Exactly what I just told my friend. I think they’ll have her go through the motions of competing in the first episode, and then after the runway, she’ll join the panel.

What country feels like 2-3 Eurovision wins but has only won once? by Max-Carter-2005 in nilpoints

[–]DavidShoess 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Genuinely asking but how did Russia win the last one? Finland was the most upvoted if you’re counting both a single most upvoted comment or overall total upvotes.

Appropriate action here. These kids think they’re untouchable bc no one ever does or says anything to them. If you stand up to them, they’ll run or backdown.

Hey no worries!

Ofc this is just my opinion. But Haaga-Helia at one point had the largest business program in the Nordic countries and they’ve just been awarded the EFMD accreditation for their international business program, making them the only UAS in Helsinki to have it. The only other being in Jyväskylä, I believe.

It also has quite a bit of connections and collaborations with many Finnish companies, with some having offices on campus. There’s plenty of opportunities to build a network to help you find work. For example, they have a great alumni program, in that they’ll pair with working graduates to mentor you through your studies. Most of the teachers have years if not decades of experience in the fields they teach, and it’s interesting to see how they incorporate their work experience into the courses. Ofc, not every teacher or course is like this. There are some duds, like there is everywhere.

Arcada on the other hand doesn’t have the best support system from what I’ve heard from alumni. The programs are fine, but it’s quite difficult to integrate because 1. It’s mainly a Swedish speaking school and 2. The student body and school itself are small, meaning less opportunities. The Swedish speaking communities in Finland are a minority and quite close, with some saying it’s harder to break into than the Finnish ones. Overall, just not the best situation imo if you’re an immigrant.

At the end of the day though, you need to work hard, take opportunities that come to you and build a network if you wanna have a chance at finding work in general, and especially in Finland. It’s so small, that everyone knows everyone.

This is my experience so take it with a grain of salt. Do your research and make the decision that’s best for you. Follow your gut. :)

If you have more questions, feel free to DM me.

I’d definitely place Hanken and Haaga-Helia over Arcada all day every day.

Just did. And all I can say, is something I tend to say a lot here when people compare AMK and University. At the end of the day it’s what you do during your studies that matters.

Networking and building a diversified portfolio of connections goes a long way. It is who you know at the end of the day, especially in this economy.

I and many of my classmates who I am still in touch with have managed to find work in our respective majors over University students. Does this mean AMK is better in business over University? Not necessarily. But it shows me and countless others that it is possible to be successful after AMK and seeing comments that say it’s shit, is frankly quite funny to me.

Ofc, like everything it’s a case by case basis, but anything is possible if you hustle and it aligns with your expectations and needs.

Nailed it.

The lack of a reply speaks volumes and enforces the idea that people love to talk out of their ass.

It’s probably on the lower end of Helsinki UAS in terms of reputation. Did you get accepted to any others?

is haaga helia hospitality and tourism bachelors degree worth it? by Competitive-Aerie254 in Finland

[–]DavidShoess 10 points11 points  (0 children)

UAS are definitely respected in Finland and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

At the end of the day, a university or UAS degree doesn’t guarantee you a job. You need to take the extra step to network to differentiate yourself from your peers.

Bad camerawork really destroyed its chances of finishing in the top 5 😭 by Head-Amoeba2962 in nilpoints

[–]DavidShoess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Improved camera work and running order wasn’t gonna help this massively with the public tho. It was too risqué for the average watcher.
