Impressions about TAMK University of Applied Sciences

My first impressions about TAMK University of Applied Sciences

I was so anxious to arriving at TAMK on April 04, my first day there. TAMK is very well located and it is also well served by buses. As I need to rent a car, I was a little bit worried if I would find free parking spaces, but I have found every day. TAMK is divided in many buildings, all them connected, besides TAMK campus is completely adapted to disabled people. 

The University is clean and there is an awesome atmosphere. I have had the opportunity to visit different classrooms and I have realized they were projected to offer a perfect environment for learning experiences, both for teachers and for students. I could see the classrooms are different depending the subjects are taught there, for example, in an International Business classroom the furnitures are designed to foster an ideal environment for sales and negotiations. All classrooms I have seen provide an ideal space for collaboration.

I feel delighted to visit some laboratories from different courses on my first days at TAMK, like Mechanical Engineering, Construction Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Information Systems etc. The labs are well structured with innovative machines making possible teaching and researching at a high level. A considerable part of the advanced projects researched in TAMK is sponsored by companies.

Talking about TAMK library deserve a whole post. The building is amazing and comfy with separated areas for individual and group studies. Library staff are attentive and the registration process was very easy. I observed one thing that caught my attention, the machines to drop out rented books, a fast and so efficient mechanism. 
TAMK offers many facilities for students and all most of them are free. TAMK offers different kinds of restaurants with a great variety of foods. There are no tuition fees for students in Finland Education Model, independently of study level.
