It's been over 20 years since I lived in a student apartment, so I don't know the prices nowadays, but that seemed fair for Helsinki. When it comes to renting from the private market, the rents vary a lot depending on where in Helsinki you want to live. The eastern parts are generally the cheapest, but then you are quite far from the university, and near the center even tiny studio apartments are 700-1000 euros per month, and on top of that water, electricity and internet. Regarding the stoves (what he called a burner), probably all student apartments will have an electric stove. Gas stoves are not common in Finland and since the import of gas from Russia mostly ended several years ago, I don't know how expensive that is now. I think Finland still imports some natural gas in liquid form, but it has never been a very important part of Finland's energy production, only a few percent.
