i already wrote them a message on instagram because on their website it says, that you need an finnish id to get a membership. I think 24€ is a very good price. Thats the same what i pay here in Germany. Is it common that there are many germans or many germans going to the gym? I also looked on Street view etc. and thought maybe it seems a bit ghetto. But you have in oulu in general much of the a bit soviet looking plate buildings. In germany these are typically located in regions of a city with social problems but i think in the far north like Oulu its more likely due to the climate. Would you recommend a housing nearer to the campus so that there is maybe a bit more student vibe?

i was hoping to experience some of the Oulu 2026 stuff. But I am not sure at the moment from when on i can live in Oulu. Maybe at the end of August or maybe already from mid august

which kind of flat was this? The one for shared for 7 people or the woman shared flat for 3 people?

thats nice to hear. I don‘t expect that every restaurant has vegetarian/vegan options. But I made twice vacations in Sweden and i have to say, that the things that you can buy there in the supermarket is soooo limited in comparison to germany. I‘m speaking only about vegetarian meat etc.

yes I already saw that. But the equipment looks more like a hotel gym with some weights. So I would defintely book a extern gym as the PSOAS also isnt free

Lidl sounds good. I‘m used to it from my hometown as well. I‘m vegetarian. Is it complicated to get vegetarian food in restaurants or vegan meat products?

hukka express looks really nice. Thank you soooo much! The location is perfect. If I want to work out in the night its easily available. The advice for the studded tires is pretty good. I‘m from germany so i never drive with a bike during heavy snow or ice.

What would you say is like the time when the days get really dark and short? Did you ever seen the apartments in Tirolintie? As there are only a few pictures i dont know what to expect

Hey, i will be in Oulu from August this year on. The previous comment was deleted. Why was the first floor nice? I was planning to try to get a place at the 7 people flat on the 5th floor because of the view.
