Good News! Don't worry anything about the place and locality since in almost every city where you are admitted, you will find at least few other Nepalese students and as you know, generally Nepalese are very cooperative and helpful for helping their friends.
What Should you do after getting Admission on a college?
- Confirm your position on college by filling Confirmation form received on Admission Package
- Fill and return Housing Application Form as well to ensure your accommodation. Start looking and booking other housing facility immediately located on that city as well since finding a room on most of the city is another big headache.
- Apply for Resident Permit (it is Student Visa of Finland).
- Get yourself familiarize with Finnish society, culture, environment and some basic greetings in Finnish language.
- Change entire 6000 Euro amount as Traveler's Cheque and some very minimal cash in case of some emergency on arrival before changing Traveler's Cheque. You are suggested to carry all Traveler's Cheque instead of Bank Drafts since Traveller's Cheque are preferable than Bank Draft and also, it would be exchanged immediately while compared with Bank Draft.
- Book a flight ticket and buy it immediately once you get Resident Permit.
- Do the necessary shopping and travel arrangements.
I will post the Shopping List for this year and various routes to travel a bit later.

- Letter of Acceptance: It proves that you got admission on this university. This is the document on which basis you will apply to Embassy for Resident Permit. Resident Permit is the visa name for Students.
- Confirmation Form: This form is to confirm and reserve your seat on this university. You are supposed to fill it and return back to this university to confirm your seat that you accepted your admission and will be coming to that particular university before the deadline as mentioned on the form. If you have applied to other universities of Finland as well and waiting for their admission results, do not send it immediately, since you can not confirm on multiple universities. But, be careful about the deadline to confirm your seat.
- Housing Application Form: This form is to apply for Housing for your accommodation during your studies. Finding rooms is really much difficult on some of the cities of Finland. Do not wait any more for applying for Rooms. Along with immediately filling and sending this form, also start searching other housing support on your city.

Be careful, do not do it before getting any direct confirmation from waiting list college, else, once you cancel on first college, then, you might not be able to claim back your seat later if not got admission on second college.
Do not bother much, if you want, you can apply for college transfer to your required college later might be after one year.
I want to go to the college of my 3rd priority, should I wait for it?
If you want, you can wait for them. But do not make much delay since primary acceptance to all colleges ends on first week of August. Also, if you are already selected for one college, there is very little chance to get admission on another college since all of them operate on Joint Application System, hence without cancelling the first accepted admission, you might not be considered for your desired college of 2rd or 3rd or 4th priority. And, by that time, your desired college will have also their own list of selected students and their seats might be full by then.

So, do not cancel the admission without communicating properly with colleges.
Also, communicate properly with the desired college stating you want to be admitted for that particular college rather than just waiting by doing nothing.
