Social Program	Our social program usually consists of 3 main things (these are the things that EstMSA pays for): welcoming party in the beginning, weekend trip in Estonia (for example national parks, the islands, Parnu, Tallinn, etc) and in the end we have see-you-soon-party. If students wish, there might be something added (for example trip, national food and drink party, etc), but EstMSA is not covering the cost of these activities. If the student is interested in visiting Finland, Latvia or Russia, it is also possible. If student wishes to visit Russia, he/she needs a visa for that.
