A cultural shock for me was absolutely the Lunch. The time Finns use to eat their lunch is just ways too early for me; they eat around 11 am. Back home I use to eat breakfast at this time (on weekends). However, having lunch at 11 am was too early for me. I even didn't feel hungry at this time of the day. In January, the sunrise was after 9 am and two hours later they had their lunch...
Another very surprising thing to me was the price for the meal in the student restaurants. All the universities provided in their cafeterias around three different menus, vegetarian menus were included, for just €2.60 (in Switzerland a student menu costs about €10.-)! And the food was very tasty and healthy as well. You could have a glass of water, fruit juice or milk, salad from the salat bar and the main dish. The main dish was mostly rice or potato with meat or fish and vegetables.
All the students could easily get their food very quick because of its smart system. Everything worked well. I was amazed about the way the students removed their dishes. Everyone brought back their tablet and removed rubbish. They have a great recycling system which I would love to test in Switzerland as well.
