The survey conducted among Tallinn University’s foreign students revealed that the main reason for coming to study in Estonia was that they did not want to go to a popular destination, but wished to study somewhere where they've never been. The second reason choosing Tallinn and Estonia is that friends and acquaintances have suggested Estonia as a country to receive a good education. Finally, the third argument for international students choosing Estonia is that support system for foreign students is known to be well-effective in Estonian universities – student advisers and international student clubs help students to adapt to the new environment.
