I am a foreign student here in Oulu, and I am pretty sure that the scores should be updated. Such as Internet connection here is great, 60-100mbs at my workplace. The city is bike friendly and foreign friendly, much better than the east and the south part of Finland. The city is promoting startups and improving environment toward internationalisation, so the future is bright and worthy. There is not much nightlife activities to do besides drinking and dancing, but in the summer you can do sport
