Introduction of the new student ambassadors #1

Haoyi

Hi everyone, I am Haoyi from Beijing, China, a former Finnish major student and currently a second-year master’s student in intercultural communication (now it is LAGIC program). Like many of us, I have also been an exchange student in JYU before and it was definitely the best year during my bachelor studies. I decided to apply for master’s programs and continue my story here – believe it or not, JYU has its magic to make people return!

I first came to JYU as a language exchange student, but JYU offered a wide range of opportunities to let students explore different areas. Not only was I able to improve my language skills by attending lectures provided by language center, but also freely expand my interests in other courses, whether they are about culture, business, or IT. The staff, professors, and the supporting system for international students are also friendly and efficient. When you need, you can always get help from them. Also, I would recommend EOTO and friendship family program to all students who are interested in language and culture.

I personally think JYU is a vibe. It consists of the unique student culture, beautiful Finnish nature and design, as well as its value. I could either emerge into the amazing student activities, or dive deep into myself in the quiet nature. Apart from studies, JYU offers high-quality group fitness sessions and sports courses. The city is also the best place for swimming, canoeing, jogging, skiing and ice skating. Wherever you are from, you can always find people to hangout and cook together. Although Jyväskylä is a small city, you will never be bored if you don’t want to.

JYU is a place worth coming to, and it will not disappoint you!
