Jyväskylän Yliopisto (JYU)

It was very easy to travel in Finland. I could visit Sweden, Russia, Estonian and i also travel around Finland, i was in many cities and i could know a little better a new cultures. It was a great experience.

Finally there isn`t anything to advice or any special tipps, it even is important to find everything out... This place is definetely worth to go!!!

Kortepohja is from 10 minutes by bike from the university, there are free saunas in each buildings, free access to internet and free phone calls inside the village! The majority of foreigners are gathered in the same building

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.

Knowing how to speak english (even not fluent) is enough to survive in Finland. Some can come back from this country after a year without knowing any sentence, because locals deals so good with foreign languages (swedish also official language, almost all fluent in english, even some know german, spanish or french). But to integrate ourself completely inside the local community, and to keep our mind open, it is really good (not compulsory) to try (at least) to learn finnish (in that sence, lectures at the university are very well made, especially the each one teach one program)

- Do things with finns. - Try the sauna+snow or lake. - Drink Salmiakki Kossu. It's a great place!
