If your asking about the style of life , then this is probably about the best advice I have heard from the person above
"Good - isolation.
Bad - isolation."
I was an exchange student in a village in eastern Finland last year and am from america so i understand the two cultures very well and can see from both perspectives. If you love nature and quite a lot of solitude, Finland has that. It has stunning nature and the most beautiful lakes you will ever see. There is no such thing as going to nature. All you have to do is step out your front door.(Unless your in Helsinki in which case its quite a short ride to nature). Dont forget sauna, one of the most awkward but amazing things you will ever do. You go in naked to sauna which is quite intimidating to foreigners so take your courage with you! Winters are beautiful but can get a little depressing with such little sunlight but my guess is that all of these things will agitate you for a good while, but once you cross that bridge, you will love it. The language is a very difficult one but far more unique than most languages you will ever hear and very fun to learn if you are interested. Becoming fluent is difficult but definitely possible. I can consider myself conversationally fluent after just one year although I still have plenty to improve upon. If you have determination then it is possible. Also, the people can come off as a little cold at first. Dont let that fool you. Once you have broken that barrier, Finns will be very loyal friends. Just dont expect to hear them tell you all of their passionate emotions 24/7. A good example is that in Finland, people will hardly ever say I love you. Not even kids to their parents or visa versa. Dont get me wrong, they arent completely unheard of words but much more rare than America. I think we happen to over use those words, and the meaning of friendship, etc.
Your young still, but if you are still interested later on, it is a great place to live and I highly recommend it if you have the will power. Maybe even do an exchange in high school so that you can test it out once. Good luck!
How 'hard' is it, in what sense? How difficult is it to move to Finland? Or how hard is life once you're there?
You're unlikely to be able to move anywhere at your age, given that you're still a minor.
You would obviously need a residence permit or equivalent, which will depend on your nationality (EU/EEA/Nordic citizens are OK, others far more difficult).
Whilst you can get by with English to some extent, life would be far easier if you spoken either one of the languages, preferably Finnish but Swedish would also suffice. Finnish, unfortunately, is reckoned to be the one of the top-3 most difficult languages in the world, which makes it virtually impossible for most foreigners to learn beyond the odd word here and there. Swedish is much easier, especially as it's closely related to English, but its usefulness in Finland is limited mainly to the larger cities on the coast.
Other than all that, you'll find that everyday life in Finland is pretty much the same as anywhere in northern Europe: well-functioning state and public services, transparent government and legal system, high level of social security funded by correspondingly high level of taxation, liberal and open society with high emphasis on equality and low power-distance.
Good - isolation.
Bad - isolation.
How will you get a visa?
