Jyväskylä. In the heart of Finland. A good place to move in?

Hello my dears! ♥
In today’s video I’m glad to take you with me on this journey to Central Finland and to show you the charming city of Jyväskylä.
The city is known for its beautiful nature, numerous lakes and cultural events. But mainly Jyväskylä is famous as a student city and a center of high-quality education. That is why more than 30% of the city's population are students.
How does it affect the life of the city and what is it like to live in Jyväskylä? In this video I’ll tell you more about it.
00:00 - Jyväskylä
00:44 - Location. How to reach
01:53 - History
02:39 - The University of Jyväskylä and student life
03:55 - Exploring the city. What to see in Jyvaskyla
05:50 - Activities in Jyvaskyla
Hope you’ll enjoy watching it.
Thank you deeply for all your support, it is much appreciated ♥

    You actually made my city looking beautiful. It's hard for a local to see the beauty of it. I have always wondered how people from other places think Jyväskylä looks really pretty. Also people abroad are totally confused how athletic and sporty locals are not just students which study in the sports uni. Some comments I have heard are for example "I have never seen so many people jogging and doing other sporty activities and it's all age groups including old people" -yup it's totally normal to see old people active here. Swimming, skiing, bicycling, walking, jogging and roaming in forests gathering berries and mushrooms. And actually I have to agree with that comment since I have been and living in many others places too but Jyväskylä stands out with this.

    Sorry to tell. I've lived in Jyväskylä hole my life and there's a major social economy problems these days. The city of Jyväskylä in very intebted which partly coused by poor decisions of the city council and of course other reasons. That leads to reducing of cervices, for example shud down youth facilities and many other things. Even the video scenery's are nice, in my opinion this city is not so good place to live for families as it has been past decades.

    Hi Olia! Thanks for the great video! I live in a municipality right next to Jyväskylä called "Muurame", and i visit JKL very often. Loved the videography and accurate description. Muurame is a really nice place, only around 12km away from central Jyväskylä. It's essentially just a downsized city, which means it's even more peaceful. We have stuff like schools, a shopping center, a ski resort, many lakes, forests, many sports activites, pretty much everything you would want in a bigger city. Would love to see you visit sometime

    Hi there! It's really nice to hear from someone living so close to Jyväskylä, and I’m happy that you enjoyed this video. Your description of Muurame makes it sound like a very nice place with everything one could need. I've had a chance to explore some municipalities north of Jyväskylä, such as Laukaa and nearby areas, and I loved them. So I definitely want to explore more and I’d love to visit Muurame in the future. Thank you for reaching out and for the invitation. 😊

    You can try to apply for a job in the local Post logistic center either for post delivery (if you have got a driving license) or sorting out packages and parcels. It's physically hard job with odd hours (three-shift work) but if you don't mind that it's suitable even for students that don't speak finnish.
