Hello amazing Vaasa people

I will arrive to your beautiful city at 1am july 19th via Wasaline ferry. I already booked a hotel but I cant get any transport from the ferry to my hotel.

Anyone knows if Uber is normally running at 1am in Vaasa or there are taxi services running late from the terminal?

Thanks!

Otsikko. Mitkä ovat vaasan ”pahamaineisimmat” asuinalueet?

Come one, come all: chill, dance, enjoy the sun, enjoy the music! It's free!

Onko Vaasan Myllykatu rauhallista aluetta? kumminkin ton Olympiakadun vieressä, mistä olen kuullut vain ja ainoastaan pelkkää paskaa.

I am doing an incubator program where I need to come up with a startup idea. We want to do something that will actually help people. We are mainly focusing on local problems.

I am here is Vaasa for nearly one years. Truthfully I haven't face any problems yet. Other than no jobs. But to actually solve this problem it's better to build a company and provide jobs. But what will be the company build for! ( May be some export ) Vaasa is already energy city. Big companies are here. So I was thinking what can we do. If we could narrow down actual daily life problem that not a policy problem, it would be great.

So I was curious what kind of problems locals faces. We also would love to do something meaningful.

2 days from now. (arriving June 15th, leaving June 20th) Me and 2 of my friends are visiting Vaasa. We are looking to explore and experience Vaasa culture, activities, parties, or any other recommended events.

If anyone is interested in showing us around or recommending things to do, for a reasonable fee:
1. comment for info/recommendations
or
2. dm me to get in contact for live guiding/chatting.

Hi everyone,

I am a student from Kazakhstan and I am planning to apply to Novia UAS for the Mechanical Engineering & Industrial Management programme. I would like to study in Swedish because the programme is free for international students, and I believe learning Swedish will be much easier for me than learning Finnish, since I already have a C1 level in English.

I have a few questions regarding living costs in Vaasa and student employment:

1. Can I find part-time work as an international student who speaks Swedish and English?
2. What are the living costs like in Vaasa? Would €800 per month be enough to live on as a student? Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi everyone,

I am a 20-year-old Business Management student from France (iaelyon School of Management). I have been officially accepted at the University of Vaasa for the full academic year 2026-2027, arriving on August 19th.

Like many international students this year, VOAS is fully booked for me, and I am currently navigating the private market. Since the university strictly requires an official Finnish address to finalize my registration, I am getting quite desperate to secure a place swiftly.

What I am looking for:

• Type: A private room in a shared flat (flatshare) or a studio. Must be fully furnished.
• Budget: Max 600 € / month. Open to discussions regarding utilities (water, electricity).
• Location: Ideally near Palosaari (campus) or the Downtown area.

About me: I am quiet, non-smoker, reliable, and very clean. My schedule will be busy between my L3 courses, football, and weight training.

If you have a room available, are planning to sublet your place, or have any serious leads on local private landlords (outside of Aveo/Pikipruukki which I am already checking), please drop a comment or send me a DM.

Kiitos / Tack for your help!

I'm planning to study for a bachelor at campus vasa next semester and I'm trying to find out if Novia has any fun student activities? I was trying to search online but couldn't find anything so now I am turning to Reddit to see.

Do they have haalarit? Are there fun activities to do when you start? Is the bond between different years strong?

If you know anybody, or is somebody, who has studied or is studying at campus vasa (maybe you even study biomedicinal laboratory science) and know the answer to any of my questions i would be ever so thankful:)

Oon tulossa vaasaan päättäreinä, missä menot

Can I get work with my swedish and English? I am open to all kinds of jobs as long as i can pay my living cost? What jobs or companies Should I look for jobs there? I appreciate your advice

Ite v. 2000 Vaasasta poismuuttaneena suomenkielisenä tajusin vasta myöhemmin, että mulla ei oo ollut negatiivista suhtautumista toiseen kotimaiseen. Siis samanlaista kuin yksikielisessä Suomessa.

Ysäriteininä muistan kyllä että kaupungissa oli jonkinlainen ”me ja noi” -meininki, mut onko enää 30 vuoden jälkeen? Ruotsia en lapsuudessa kunnolla oppinut, vaikka sitä joka puolella kuulikin. Aina kuitenkin yllättäen joku luokkakaveri tmv. jossain yhteydessä alkoi puhumaan ruotsia, ja ite olin kade että saakeli säkin osaat ruotsii.

Eli mikä on 420 vuotta vanhassa kaupungissa suhtautuminen kotimaisiin kieliin tänä päivänä?

Hi. I accepted a study place for a BSc degree in the University of Vaasa. Is there any group or sub or any community on the social media where I could connect with the current students of the university? Thanks.
