Jyväskylän Yliopisto (JYU)

Not as expensive as expected. As food is a bit expensive, lunch at the university cafeterias may lead to some savings.

Well the cimema is expensive but you can find cheaper prices in some students offices; alcohol is expensive but you can´t change it (or prepare your own wine or beer: it´s really common here!) ank return your bottles to save some money!!!! Show your student card as often as you can! When you arrive don´t buy the first postcards you find just wait and find the cheaper (about 1 FIM)...Believe me I know what I´m talking about!!!

free internet access inside the rooms of the student village (good to have a computer) financial surprise: difficult to find a job as the same time as studying

When friends come to visit you tell them to bring good meat and alcoholic drinks, since they are much more expensive in Finland.

home banking!!! open a discount in a Finnish bank and transfer your money by using home banking to this account, so you don't have to pay if you want to get cash

show your student card to the sales person; cheap haircut at the polytechnics (if the students mess it up, the instructor will do their best to save what's left:-)
