Student Life and Surroundings
The Jyvaskyla Summer School organizes a variety of informal free-time activities to allow Summer School participants to get to know each other and explore their surroundings and Finnish culture. These activities include hiking, sauna, barbeques, movie nights, and pub crawls.
Jyväskylä is a vibrant city of 130,000 placed along majestic Lake Jyväskylä. Located in south-central Finland, Jyväskylä allows students easy access to the capital city of Helsinki, and to the rest of Europe.
Finland is a great location for students who enjoy playing sports or enjoying the outdoors. Although it may be famous for its winter activities, Jyväskylä provides outdoor entertainment all year round.
