Introduction of the new student ambassadors #4

Yindong

Hi there!

I’m Yindong from Sichuan, China. And I have been in Jyväskylä for 2 years. Time flies! I was an exchange student in the beginning. Then I decided to do my Master here too in IT faculty. My program is Cognitive Computing and Collective Intelligence which is filled with fun and challenges!

Jyväskylä is a perfect place if you want to stay away from unnecessary issues and focus on your own things, like studies. JYU gives trust and support to its students. Firstly, you don’t have to worry much about languages. Although Finnish is quite difficult for me, everyone here speaks English. Secondly, JYU allows students to study at their own pace. You could make your own study plan, such as when you want to take the exam or how you want to complete the course. You are considered as a total independent person. Thirdly, professors are amiable and easy to approach. You could discuss with them about your confusion and ask for help. Last but not least, JYU tries its best to help with students’ career life. You could find CV tailoring service and a lot of intern positions from its website.

Also the beautiful nature here is so pleasant. Buildings are basically located in forests and around lakes. Therefore, in winter, I like skiing and skating in the city. As for summer, I would go swimming in the lake or jogging around the lake. After a long day, I prefer to go to the sauna to release my stress.
