Art17

Here are some of my inquiries:

- What role does a high school diploma play in the admission process if a polytechnic uses discretional admission?

- Suppose I've applied for admisson to one of the polytechnics in Finland. Suppose they send me an invitation to take their entrance exams. Having passed, how long do I have to wait until the college sends me a letter of acceptance/denial?

- How long is my visa going to be valid for?

- Can I wait for their final decision in Finland or I have to go back to my country?

- Housing while in Finland: how much does it cost to stay somewhere overnight ( let's say, the cheapest?)

- How much is a plane/train ticket form Moscow/St. Petersburg ti Helsinki/another city?

- Insurance: is it really true that I can purchase one right near the embassy/consulate?

- Price for an insurance?

- Cost of food/clothes in Finland?

Truly. Appreciate it.
