Jyväskylän Yliopisto (JYU)

PLACES Tuesday nights:Domino/Blaze Club(pub)- Meeting point of any exchange student during the whole year and of some local addicts. Place is nice and dark, music is good thanks to DJ. Week end: Elohuvi (night club)- Best place to go, this is one of the biggest discos in Finland. Special spot on the upper floor (finnish bands) Day time: Memphis/Coffee House- Same place for two different concepts, you can find either huge selection of different coffees and good food or amazing coktails. The atmopshere is nice thanks to the music and youth public. EVENTS during winter, visits organized by the Student Union (companies, cities, abroad) several concert on live when the summer comes 1st may: Vappu - a chance to see finnish way of partying 21st june: Juhannus- Celebration of mid summer in the whole country and do not miss sauna experience all over the year (especially in winter with ice or snow bath)

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

Being a exchange student is probably one of the most wonderful things one can experience in his whole life. I would warmly recommend this experience to anybody clever enough to appreciate such an experience. It is although needed to be able to stay far from home and to be responsible, but gives you a great opportunity to become stonger, and to build up and open your mind .

The bigger was my roomnet, but I think it was been better with an other one. In generaly accomodation were great espacialy free internet connection.

getting to know locals is very hard! clubs were a totally new world for me! you got to see it by yourself!
