Student apartment is basically just regular apartment but usually close to the college/uni etc meant for students to rent and the rent is often cheaper than regular apartments for other people, I'm not student anymore but I live in smallish apartment and I have my own private sauna!
Thats not entirely true. Some apartment buildings are owned by rental institutions which only rent apartments for students, like HOAS or TOAS. You need to provide them a paperwork proving you are a student. Almost all cities with universities or similar have such institutions, I too used to live in such apartment, good enough for a student and affordable rent, sometimes you get roommates or you can apply for single/family apartment. They often are able to offer cheaper rent than normal apartments. Some schools might even provide housing for students, depending on the location. Otherwise they are not so different to normal rental apartments. You usually can live there for some time after graduation, until you find proper apartment.
My brazilian colleague liked finnish triple windows so much when working and living here that he ordered similar to his apartment in SP, Brazil. He loved how they blocked the noise outside.
I make triple glass element on inner window and one thick glass on outside window whit 4x8mm seals. Sound cancelation is superb compared to two glass 🙂 element.
We in Finland are systematic people who especially value cleanliness, and in a matter of fact I just came from my Sauna with my family, and I know there are millions of citizens here in Finland to do Sauna today in the same time and in the same way. Thank you both for your comments. All the best to you.
This guy didn't count window panes properly, he's showing triple-glazed window. You can clearly see there's two panes very close to each other on inside, two dark stripes. This is module type double glass pane, it contains inert gas and is therefore sealed in the factory. They are completely fog and frost-free. Triple glazing is a standard and has been for decades, maybe in 60's they built double glazed last time but with oil crisis hitting in 70's insulation got suddenly a lot more attention. Modern low energy buildings might even have quadruple glazing for extra insulation.
Correct! My wives parents live in Finland. Their windows seem to have double glazing. But actually they have two separate double glazed elements. So, they have quadruple glazing. The elements are sealed and contain Argon gas. Their insulation is over 1.5 times more effective than in normal windows. In a way those windows are as effective as a normal six glazed window.
Correct, last time I've seen a true double-glazed window here in Finland was in a country house from 1940s or so. Modern houses have triple-glazed windows and quad-glazed windows are not unheard of. The problem with well insulated quad-glazed windows is that if the outside glass panel gets frost, it will not melt in weeks during the winter if you're unlucky. If you are one of those people that prefer to see through the glass, triple-glazed windows seem best compromise overall.
@@epo12epo F(unf)act: insulation properties decrease exponentially relative to amount of glazing. This means that from 1 to 2 glass window the difference in insulation is highest and the more glass layers there is the less effective the extra glass layers are. In general, triple glazing provides over 90% insulation (blocks over 90% of thermal flow through the window) and the difference between triple and quadruple glazing is less than 2%. Argon gives 0,something% extra insulation but it is added to glasses because it increases the radiation blocking properties of selective window, which is commonly used in new buildings in Finland. Selective window is a window type that also blocks infrared- and UV-radiation from the sun. This is a good property during the summer in well insulated buildings (in Finland) because it prevents unwanted temperature rise in apartments as a result of straight sunlight.
Yes you can get windows with one pane of glass, but that would be idiotic cuz winters are COLD and you'll be freezing 😅 also nobody will buy a house with one glass window
As was already said by another commenter, student apartments are normal apartments, but they have been built with state support to keep the rents low and they are only meant for students. There also exists a version of student apartment that I think is called a shared flat in English, where several students live in the same flat with everyone having their own private room and sharing a kitchen and bathroom. These apartments are not very popular anymore, because everyone wants their own privacy in a studio apartment if they can afford it. Many even prefer to rent more expensive apartments from the private market than live in a shared student apartment.
Now, as everything is rapidly getting more expensive in Finland, too, and many living benefits have been cut at the same time, the shared flats are getting more popular again, amongst students. 😉
So to answer a couple of your questions in order of the video; 1) Student housing IS mostly for students however it's still the same exact standard as normal housing. It's just cheaper, smalelr and might come with roommates. 2) The soundproofing/insulation is the same pretty much everywhere. I've never been to an apartment without that. Not even one. Some older actual Houses might have a different setup. And no it's not cheap. My apartment building got new reno to the outside (meaning they redid the outside of the whole block house and installed new windows etc, there's 18 apartments in my aprtment block and our bill came to 29k euros. So no it's NOT cheap. Triple pane windows tho -> So worth it! 3) Typically we try to be respectful, but that's because it's very much "Treat others like you want to be treated" and we all appreciate quiet and niceness :) There's also rules about noise and such. 4) When it comes to rented apartments (by state or such) they always have laundry rooms. If renting from a private party they usually have a laundry machine installed. 5) Elevators are mandatory when the apartment house is taller than 3 stories I believe, someone correct me if I'm wrong :D 6) And yes, every apartment building has a sauna.. I've never rented a place which didn't have a sauna. Either it's shared sauna which you can reserve for a block of time in a week and what not.. Or they had sauna installed in the apartment itself. A bit of trivia, we have more sauna's than cars :) 7) The latter (As in the little house thing with the containers) is more common everywhere. There's obviously general bins everywhere and there's cleaners that work during the night and by 6Am the city is always spotless. 8) The storage areas are Very common but they also double up as bomb shelters as been talked about :)
The thing about trash is, nature and forests is part of our identity (75% of the whole country is forest and u can walk from every major city for some minutes and u are in a forest) so we respect those. In the video, those bins are quite modern so there is "normal" trash bins all around also. About the saunas, we can even apply for social welfare for sauna cost, they have section where u specify your rent, electric and water costs, and there is a spot to apply for sauna cost benefit, which in my building would be 3€/month and that grants in my building 1hour/weekend. These are completely different in every building, like some buildings have dedicated time slots for household around the week etc. Most of those shown in the video (not including the modern trash system) are in every building here and what he didn't mention was that almost every building has a bomb shelter, which usually doubles as the bike/baby carriage etc. storage.
The drying cabinet thing never goes out of focus. And i still wonder as a finn why it is not used elsewhere. It is simple tech. Costs next to nothing and is the most practical setup ever. Only a advanced self-drying dishwasher machine is theoretically better but even that is not that good since you can put other items in the drying cup board as well. Usually it is used for storage and not just for drying so it is very versatile. The space is used to the max.
Like you said us Finns like things to be conveinient. So we are by default also considerate of others conveiniance. The bike storages stay organized becouse everyone wants to get their bikes in and out easily. The person not respecting the orderliness will be put in their place quickly.
Well this building where i live in Tampere Finland has sauna in the top floor and there is about ten times bigger terrace than what was in that video. I moved here february 2018 when this buikdin were brand new. I have also dishwasher here. This part of the city we dont have that trash tube system but we have very large disposal units outside that goes few meters underground. We also have different units for different materials, but not that plastic one. But there is otherside of our parking site big recycle bins for palstics too. So no problem with that either. We don´t have electric keys or locks, but with my key i can get all of those places he mentioned. We also have good locks at those underground storages and the same key fits to the lock too. I don´t have double door, but that dor is insulated very well and i can´t hear if my neighbour passes by. Also the mailbox is designed that way that no-one can´t peak into the appartment. It is rare to hear any noices from the neighbours. Some times some of the younger people might play music loudly but they stop 10pm becouse from 10pm to 7am it is silence in the building tht everybody can get some sleep if they want to. There is also heavy traffic in the street that goes by, but i can´t hear it inside. Some times ambulances and police vehicles uses sirens and that i can hear. Also every night two airplanes goes over the building, but can´t hear those unless you are at the balcony or the roof terrace at that time. Just last night i was smoking in my balcony and saw that earlier flight that was about to land Pirkkala airport.
One problem with communal laundry rooms is that some people don't even know how to use the machines or the detergent correctly; Before using one myself for the first time I had to detach the compartment for detergent/softener and remove literal handfuls of goop from underneath the compartment, as well as what looked either mold or dust stuck on top of softener residue. This was because some people just pour their detergemt across all the slots in the compartment and don't care that softener is the stuff that stays on the fabric so using detergent there is a really bad idea (I wonder if that person had itchy rashes all over...). I ran two hot washing cycles after pouring buckets of steaming hot water through the machines to rinse them out. THEN I washed my laundry. The cleaning lady was really appreciative though, she had such a limited time to work that she couldn't keep up with the laundry machines, she just cleaned the rooms.
German houses are very similar to Finnish ones, didn't expect that, we very rarely have buildings with saunas but it does happen and you normally have to pay some money, 1-2€. I wish I had a sauna in my building, I would always use it, I love saunas. The garbage sucker is new to me, very cool, I also like that the Finns are so organized and environmentally friendly. I would like to live there.
@@LTS79 We have a sauna, not nordic ones. There are some places here, where you can go to traditional nordic saunas. At least in my city. In Schleswig Holstein there are also some.
ua-cam.com/video/otILDXz9ECU/v-deo.html True. The reason why the front door of the apartment itself opens outwards is quite logical. If you panic, you don't think clearly. Your only thought is to get out. People tend to push things because they want to get out of situations like fire in an apartment.
@@eiccaw I get your broken leg or hip before your door not get able to be open easily for sure in most cases. You really do have a good point. The inner door does not open outwards. It is an obstacle. However, the inner door is not heavy or too hard or locked. You can break the first side of the "crust" with your heel.
@@Glasmortal The inner door is an old thing and unsafe. Modern apartments only have a single door, and it has way better acoustic insulation than the old stuff with two. It's just that they did not really try back then. Were not using their brain. What's the use of a mail slot anyway? To wake you up at 2 or 4 or 5 when you were planning to sleep until 7. It's stupid to have people wasting their time running up or at least down the stairs. An unbelievable innovation: mail boxes.
I have to say that i for one don't have double doors in my apartment and it's horrible. Because the noises from the hallway can be so loud and disturbing. It makes a huge difference. Besides i sadly live in a house where there are noisy people and people who don't respect the time frame to be silent. So they might be partying or talking really loud or whatever in the middle of the night too and it's very disturbing.
Yes, these keep most of the sounds out, but if the neighbor decides to hold a loud party, with the stereo at full blast, those sounds can be heard in several apartments in the same apartment building. Depending a little on how old the apartment building is and how good the sound insulation has been made there. However, there are consequences for the troublemaker, especially if more than one resident complains to the property manager. And two or three remarks (I don't remember which) will result in eviction. And according to current legislation (at least in Helsinki) all apartments are so-called non-smoking, which means that smoking is not allowed in the apartment, in the stairwell and on the balconies and in general indoors, but the resident who smokes must go outside, to a designated place. And every apartment building (I'm not sure about the others but I assume they do) must have a smoke alarm. And in a visible place in the stairwell (usually where there is an exit from the stairwell) a fire plan that shows where you can get out safely and which also includes instructions on what to do and the emergency number. Although emergency number should be something that everyone should know anyway. In addition, in some apartment buildings, the basement floor often also serves as a shelter for the population. Even though there is also a so-called cage storage, where you can store things etc. that you don't want or can't store in the apartment.
Sauna is in every house. Mostely apartments has one for everyone, if they not have one ones. There is not many own houses buillt whitout sauna, in house or outside in yard. In Helsinki and many towns, you can even go to sauna,middle of town and enjoying it as non Finnish person.. So the sauna culture is very big here.
In finland is a construction rule that you need to have double glaze or triple glaze windows. Single glaze windows are not allowed to install in houses that are for full time living.
Também há saunas em arenas/estádios de Hockey no gelo. Você está na sauna na plataforma de cima (sozinho ou com amigos/ família) e ao mesmo tempo está assistindo o jogo porque na sauna tem uma janela grande onde pode ver para fora, mas ninguém pode ver para dentro. Fantástico. O mesmo em bares onde há saunas 🤭
They don't make double doors in newer apartments anymore. Every new buildings have only one thick door, it's propably because of fire regulations or something...
9:39 Well, in my apartment building, one of my neighbours started hammering and drilling, at 9PM, and yes, it went on beyond 10PM (after which, noise is prohibited here, as well); and yes, I’m Finnish, and I’ve lived in Finland my whole life. 😅
Those are quadruple windows, so both of the glasses are double. Are the windows cheap? Hell no! And yeah, the buildings for just students are usually owned by student unions.
Double glazing is not actually that rare in Europe. It's pretty much standard except in the Mediterranean region. Apart from heat insulation and sound insulation, there's a third important reason why the cold temperature outside in the winter necessitates having a rather wide air gap between the window panes. That reason is moisture. The air inside a building has many more grams of water vapour per cubic meter than the air outside in the winter because of the residents and because of all the cooking and showering. If there only were a single pane or if the air gap were very narrow, the inner pane would cool down to a temperature below the dew point of the air inside. There'd be mist or even frost on the window and you couldn't see through the window properly. Sometimes you can see mist or frost on a window in the winter and that's a sign of a bad seal between the window and the frame. Warm moist air gets into the space between the panes and cools down causing the water vapour in it to condensate on the cold outer window pane. Even a little water vapor is enough because in the dead of the winter the outer pane can be very cold.
have to say this, I live in this area of Helsinki and for privately rented apartments it is not cheap. I have a friend Im renting with and it is three rooms and balcony for nearly 1600 a month. But our building for sure has those features shown here.
One thing he forget to mentioned we are naked in the sauna even with our friends and thats a normal, or cource there May have women and Men in it different time but in many occasion all the mens and women are in same time naked in there. Normal temp for sauna is 80-100celcius.
7:03 no mouth open. why we use keys LOL it could be just card or smaller that open your apartment too, but yes can hack lol so basically silly. could use that same key
11:44 no mouth opening thats bad LOL. same as paying SMS on mobile that nobody use.we have limited internet so any message app is free text, but service include SMS included in cost LOL
Unfortunately not bothering a neiborgh with a noise is pretty much gone by now. Only us elder people value that anymore. Modern people do not and people that came in from other countries as you said do not care at all. Even if adviced to care.
this isn't anything special Well i have traveled in many countries but it is what it is. I don't pay attention for little details. They do how the do things but with same breath...i love silence when i am home.
Student apartment is basically just regular apartment but usually close to the college/uni etc meant for students to rent and the rent is often cheaper than regular apartments for other people, I'm not student anymore but I live in smallish apartment and I have my own private sauna!

They don't make double doors in newer apartments anymore.
Every new buildings have only one thick door, it's propably because of fire regulations or something...
9:39 Well, in my apartment building, one of my neighbours started hammering and drilling, at 9PM, and yes, it went on beyond 10PM (after which, noise is prohibited here, as well); and yes, I’m Finnish, and I’ve lived in Finland my whole life. 😅
Those are quadruple windows, so both of the glasses are double. Are the windows cheap? Hell no! And yeah, the buildings for just students are usually owned by student unions.
Double glazing is not actually that rare in Europe. It's pretty much standard except in the Mediterranean region.
Apart from heat insulation and sound insulation, there's a third important reason why the cold temperature outside in the winter necessitates having a rather wide air gap between the window panes. That reason is moisture. The air inside a building has many more grams of water vapour per cubic meter than the air outside in the winter because of the residents and because of all the cooking and showering. If there only were a single pane or if the air gap were very narrow, the inner pane would cool down to a temperature below the dew point of the air inside. There'd be mist or even frost on the window and you couldn't see through the window properly. Sometimes you can see mist or frost on a window in the winter and that's a sign of a bad seal between the window and the frame. Warm moist air gets into the space between the panes and cools down causing the water vapour in it to condensate on the cold outer window pane. Even a little water vapor is enough because in the dead of the winter the outer pane can be very cold.
have to say this, I live in this area of Helsinki and for privately rented apartments it is not cheap. I have a friend Im renting with and it is three rooms and balcony for nearly 1600 a month. But our building for sure has those features shown here.
My house build 1995 triple glasses. And of course Sauna. Wood heated.

I think most apartments has personal sauna. My ex have his own sauna in his really small apartments in bathroom.
One thing he forget to mentioned we are naked in the sauna even with our friends and thats a normal, or cource there May have women and Men in it different time but in many occasion all the mens and women are in same time naked in there. Normal temp for sauna is 80-100celcius.

2:44 what mouth opening xD better than iglu. you think?
when will we viewers get to react to your environment?
Unfortunately not bothering a neiborgh with a noise is pretty much gone by now. Only us elder people value that anymore. Modern people do not and people that came in from other countries as you said do not care at all. Even if adviced to care.
this isn't anything special
Well i have traveled in many countries but it is what it is. I don't pay attention for little details. They do how the do things but with same breath...i love silence when i am home.
