Accommodation
Accommodation is a very important part of your journey to Finland. We have seven different HAMK campuses and all of them have different accommodation options.
Please note that you can only apply for student accommodation in the location where you are studying. You can find your home campus in your acceptance letter. We strongly advise you to live in the same place where you study.
