STUDY ABROAD REPORTGUIDELINES
Student reports serve as an important source of information for potential outgoing exchange students in regards to the various exchange programs available to GSOM students. An individual’s study abroad experience is as unique as the exchange programs provided by GSOM. As every report will be available for viewing at the GSOM website, these contributions will aid in the decision-making process for future outgoing exchange students.
The topics below are meant as an aid only. Students are encouraged to use their imagination, while remaining as specific and detailed as possible. The use of pictures, articles from different sources or any other materials that would contribute to the report would be of great use to these reports.
Please send your reports and any other supporting materials to GSOM International Office by e-mail vorontsova@gsom.pu.ru

WHAT DO YOU WISH THAT YOU HAD KNOWN BEFORE LEAVING FOR YOUR HOST SCHOOL?
INVITATION/VISAS
Firstly I received a letter from my host university, it offered me to fill an application form with approximate choice of courses. Then I was offered to book an accommodation and only after it Aalto University sent me an invitation for visa. It was worth asking them to scan it, because by post it took 3 months. The cost of visa is 250€, it’s called a permission for living, it was done in 3 weeks. For this permission one needs valid passport, 4 photos, insurance and an invitation from Aalto University.
AFTER ARRIVAL
