What our exchange students say?
“I liked studying in Jyväskylä for a lot of reasons. One is the relatively small size of the city and its closeness to nature. You never get lost and always meet people you know. I felt kind of home very soon.”
“There were a lot of activities offered by the Student Union. The best I took part in was definitely the trip to Moscow and St. Petersburg! –There was just never a dull moment!”
“Housing – cheap, comfortable, nice roommates! It is very nice that we didn't have to find an accommodation by ourselves!”
