UC Tangerine Hannah Steyn, Assistant News Editor On Monday, April 12, Finnish exchange student Sofia Westling gave a presentation on the differences between Finland and the U.S. social security systems via Zoom. This presentation was open to all members of the Utica College community and highlighted some major differences between the two countries’ approaches to social security, but most notable were differences for students. According to Westling, Finland, affectionately called “The Land of a Thousand Lakes” (due to the 180,000 lakes the small country is home to), has one of the most advanced social security systems in the world – a system that guarantees decent living conditions not only for native Finns but for anyone who calls Finland home.
