Sisällön kuvaus

The archived data consist of responses to an open-ended question in the Survey of Foreign Students in Five Finnish Universities 2005 (FSD2100) charting various aspects in the lives of foreign degree students in five Finnish universities. The open-ended question was "What else do you wish to say as a foreign student?" Responses covered, among others, reasons for immigrating to Finland, adjustment to Finnish society and university life, basic income and future plans. The respondents also shared their experiences and views of Finland and the Finnish society as well as fear and prejudice they had faced, but also kindness and hospitality shown to them. Some of the respondents also shared their views on employment and job-seeking in Finland, the plans to introduce tuition fees for foreign students, and quality of university studies.

Background information included the respondent's age, gender, nationality, faculty and years spent in Finland. The data contain 287 responses and is especially suitable for practice material in teaching methods for qualitative analysis in English. This data is only available in English.

The student unions received foreign students' email addresses from the university registers. The students (N=2,263) were sent an email message asking them to participate in the study. The message contained a link to the online survey.

Approximately 5% of the respondents were Finnish. 206 respondents were post-graduate students. Students of the the Helsinki University of Technology and the University of Jyväskylä are somewhat over-represented in the data.

Responses with very little text were removed from the data. Typically, such responses were requests to organise more courses in English or messages thanking for the survey.
