Flatshare in Helsinki

Finland's educational system is world-renowned for its quality, and that includes the University of Helsinki. If you're planning an exchange here, living in a shared flat is your best bet on a student budget. Keep in mind that, as in the rest of the Nordic countries, the cost of living in Helsinki is high, so saving money where you can is important.

Also, language won’t be a barrier. Most Finns and international students speak English, so don’t be afraid to choose roommates from different nationalities! Take the opportunity to learn about their cultures and habits.

Advantages and disadvantages of sharing a flat in Helsinki

In this section, we explain the main pros and cons of sharing a flat in Finland’s capital.

Advantages of sharing a flat in Helsinki

  • Sharing accommodation is the most cost-effective option for students. Even with a limited budget, by sharing a flat you can find apartments with your preferred features in popular areas like central Helsinki or Kallio.
  • You can choose between single or shared rooms, with shared rooms being even cheaper.
  • Living with roommates can be a great way to handle the harsh Finnish winter, especially if you're from a warmer country. The cold, short days can be tough, but a lively home environment can keep your spirits high and make it more bearable.

Disadvantages of sharing a flat in Helsinki

  • Finns are friendly but can be distant and reserved with new people. If you plan to share a flat with locals, be prepared for this. Having international roommates can create a more dynamic social environment.
  • You'll need to agree on heating usage with your roommates during winter. Some might prefer to keep it on constantly, but the good news is that heating costs are usually included in the rent.

Erasmus Apps for your exchange programme in Helsinki

Erasmus+ apps provide all kinds of useful information for your exchange, from necessary paperwork to life in the city. For example, you’ll find tips from previous students about Finnish culture, such as ubiquitous coffee offerings, the lack of blinds in houses, and meal times.

How to meet people in Helsinki

Making friends with your roommates is a great start, as you'll spend a lot of time at home together. Here are some additional ways to meet people in the Finnish capital:

Student associations in Helsinki

ESN Uni Helsinki is one of the top student associations in the city. They organise affordable student trips to the Baltic and Lofoten countries, bar events, and city tours. It’s a fantastic way to meet other students and experience Finnish culture together.

Facebook groups for Erasmus students in Helsinki

Most of the Facebook groups for international students are usually organised by academic year, so choose the one that corresponds to the period you’ll be there. You’ll also find groups like ESN Uni Helsinki and other organisations like Erasmus Plus Helsinki.

WhatsApp groups for Erasmus students in Helsinki

Students and associations often create WhatsApp groups to stay in direct contact. These groups allow you to introduce yourself, meet others, and find students with similar interests for shared activities.

Tips for living in a shared apartment in Helsinki

Keep these tips in mind when living in the Finnish capital:

  • Many flats have windows that don’t open. They’re designed to let in light but shouldn't be opened because the wind could damage them. Open them only for cleaning.
  • If you're in Helsinki on June 23, you’re in for a treat! Saint John, or Midsummer, is celebrated with traditional dances, games, and a giant bonfire called Kokko. The main celebrations in Helsinki are usually on Seurasaari island.
  • Helsinki university students often wear jumpsuits in colours representing their university, like green, blue, or burgundy. You'll likely enjoy various outdoor activities with fellow students wearing their jumpsuits.

Frequently Asked Questions about sharing a flat in Helsinki

How to find roommates in Helsinki?

How to meet people in Helsinki?

Besides connecting with your flatmates, the best way to meet people is by joining ESN Uni Helsinki and other student associations. You can also participate in Facebook and WhatsApp groups for international students.

Should I share a flat or live alone in Helsinki?

Sharing a flat in Helsinki has many advantages. You'll have company when you arrive, meet people in similar situations, and enjoy fun times with your roommates during the short winter days.

What to ask before moving into a shared flat in Helsinki?

Before moving into the apartment you should ask about the general vibe of the apartment—whether it's more party-oriented or calm. Also, find out how cleaning and other basic household chores are organised.
