These are few of many reasons as to why I chose Finland to pursue my education.

4. What do you know about Finnish Culture?
First of all, I know that Finland is land of equal opportunties which stands for everyone. Secondly, the worklife culture of Finland is pretty balanced which doesn't stress the citizens.
