Hi :) I’m an italian student who would like to study hotel management. Moving out scares me a bit and I would like to know if Saxion gives you some support in finding an accommodation and maybe a part time job. Also, how’s the social interaction at saxion? Are there any student events? Thank u ;)

Hello Eva! Happy to hear that you are interested in the HM course. Sure, Saxion offers student accommodation for your first year of study and you can also get in touch with current students that can pass you their old rooms or help you with finding rental agencies. (on Facebook, through the group Saxion International Students). About the part-time job, there are sometimes opportunities to work for Saxion, but you can also discuss with current students for tips on where to work in the city if you are an English-speaker. The HM course has some very nice events. There is a nice introduction week, a study trip for first years, a food gala every year, events organized by students and much more :) However, they might take place online due to Covid-19. I hope this answers your questions!
