What is the student lifestyle like in Jyväskylä?

According to me, it is different from other countries. The university's student card is very helpful for the students. A number of facilities are provided to the student on that card.

They can also get a discount on every shopping and traveling. At the university's cafeteria, they get good food at cheaper prices, every year thousands of students come from different countries to study. But understanding and speaking the basic language is very difficult.

A student can rent a room or an entire flat. If you rent a house, it is more expensive than a room. A room is always for a person and it is located in a flat with two or three rooms. There are few other options to stay in private flats, but for one person this can be very expensive. Hotels and cottage bits are expensive compared to flat blocks.

No, this is not very difficult, but a few months ago you have a fill application.

I always advise filling online application to book an apartment before going to Jyvaskyla.
