Where was it located?
Very close to the center of the city and to the school
How can someone find this place?
"Koolrooms tallinn" on internet
Would you recommend it?
The location was perfect but I think you can find something cheaper, because the friends I met during my erasmus found also nice apartments but with lower rents.
What are some top bars, clubs, or events you recommend?
A lot of parties and events organized by esn tallinn. Every wednesday erasmus students were going to the nightclub Munt.
Which classes do you recommend… or not?
Macroeconomics was more difficult that I thought it would be. Overall the courses and the final exams were easy, but there is often home assignments to do.
Do you have some tips?
The campus is small and the registration was easy. I would say that it is a chill atmosphere, no pressure on the students.
Best trips to do?
Go to Riga, Vilnius, Helsinki, Stockholm is very easy from Tallinn. Best trip is to go to Lapland if you have the opportunity to do it.
What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in Tallinn?
The transport is free when you register your residence to the authority. Also it is a very safe city (even for girls at night). The weather is cold in the winter but for me it was ok.

Would you recommend it?
It was nice because affordable price, next to my school and the city center. A lot of space and the landlord was always available.
What are some top bars, clubs, or events you recommend?
To go party I would recommend CLUB Munt, a lot of international students in there. Same for the Gruuv if you want to go to a bar.
Which classes do you recommend… or not?
I woud recommend Strategic Marketing and Strategic Management because even though it's not my favourite subjects to study, teachers are really motivating and propose a lot of differents tasks and group activity. Moreover, it's pretty easy to get a good grade!

Little campus but will be way more impressive in 2027. All the online platforms are easy to use to register and the coordinators are available and attentive.
Best trips to do?
It's easy to go to visit another capital city from Tallinn. By bus or ferry you can go to Riga or Vilnius and it's not too expensive to travel with LuxExpress or FlixBus. These cities are beautiful and I was amazed to discover them.
What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in Tallinn?
Starting from the end of October you don't really see the sun anymore so it's important to take vitamins with you! Transports are free for citizens in Tallinn so it's a really good point. The price of food is pretty much the same as in France (except for a few things ;less expensive). Don't rush to find your appartment, there are more appartments than students who want to find one so you can get one for not so much.

Where was it located?
In Tallinn, 5min by foot from EBS
How can someone find this place?
City24 was the website we booked it with
Would you recommend it?
The appartment was very nice and this is good if you have a rommate. Quite expensive tho. I think that the best option for international students is "Larsen Houses" which are student residences.
What are some top bars, clubs, or events you recommend?
Night life in Tallinn is quite calm. Deffinetely not the best place to party. The best bar is Gruuv. Best clubs are Münt, Paparazzi and club Hollywood.
Which classes do you recommend… or not?
I recommand Finance classes and marketing if you want to be with some internationals and Entrepreneurship if you want to be with only Estonioan students.
Do you have some tips?
The school is very small so easy to find your way everywhere. Not a lot of International. Estonians are cold first but quite friendly if you go talk to them.
Best trips to do?
You can fly in a lot of places for cheap from Tallinn. You can take a boat for 20€ to go to Helsinki. With flixbus you can visit the rest of Estonia, and even Riga and Vilnius. You can even go to Saint Petersburg by Bus for Tallinn.
What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in Tallinn?
The transport system is quite nice in Tallinn, if you register as a student in Estonia bus are free. The cost of living is close to France, little bit cheaper but not a big difference. The city is very safe absolutely no crime at all. Weather is a big thing in Tallinn, grey most of the time outside of summer, rain quite often and winter is snow all the time and you only see the sun 4/5 hours a day. The food is interesting, some soup, pasta and some original meats as bear, deer etc.
