From here you can visit a lot of interesting countries or places like Russia, Sweden, Norway, the Baltic countries and Lapland so save some money to travel!..it's worth!
Generally, Jyväskylä is an excellent place to go as Erasmus student. It's a students city and social life is really nice. You get to know a lot of people from all over the world. Lots of activities and events, sports,...Excellent!!

University organizes "tutors group" who are taking in charge incoming students. They are used to foreigners and you can learn a lot from them.

The weather is tough and the people seem cold: they are not, just a bit shy.But if you get in touch with them they are great.

everything was ok. Maybe the only thing I wish I have done (instead I didn't) could be going out more often (i was too tired at the end of the day...). weather was really cold but everybody survived.

It´s the only university in Finland where you can study sports, so there are a lot of active, easygoing people there! The perfect place to study.

As this wasn´t an exchange year for me as a finn, I´m not the right person to tell you about the life as an exchange student... But I got to know a lot of people from abroad at the university and they were all very happy!:) The finns are very helpful and relaxed people, but they not the ones for small talk.
