In Finland, in business studies, there is a lot of group work and presentations. Here, things are almost the opposite. We do a lot of independent assignments, and studying is mainly cramming for exams. At the end of a course, only one exam determines the course grade. I’ve also had to create my own study schedule, and I can attend as many courses as I want because we don’t enroll in courses, only in exams here.
In my free time, I have traveled a lot because our school actively organizes day trips for exchange students. Frankfurt is quite central in Europe, so I have taken advantage of this feature by visiting France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and the Czech Republic.
I have also resumed my favorite hobby, bouldering, which I had taken a long break from. Many exchange students go bouldering, so I go bouldering at least once a week. My free time is spent mostly with other exchange students.
