The slogan of Tartu is "City of good thoughts" and good thoughts are thought by awesome people. It doesn't matter if they are locals, other Estonian students or exchange students from other countries. As a foreign student in English BBA programme you end up in classes with 20 people and almost as many countries they represent. If one is looking for a place to learn what is the business culture and way of thinking in other countries, there are not many places better than Tartu.”
