One of them is Duc Le Pham, who studies Computer Science at the University of Jyväskylä and lives here with his girlfriend.

– I think this restaurant has the best interior design in Jyväskylä. It was renovated and reopened last year, Duc Le Pham says with a smile on his face.

It is lunchtime, and laughter and happy voices fill the air. We are currently at Rentukka, at the heart of the Student Village Kortepohja, where Duc has been living for almost two years.

– We were looking for an apartment close to university, and we now have a studio with a modern kitchen and a nice balcony. There’s also underfloor heating in the bathroom, Duc explains.

The area is not only safe but also suitable for outdoor activities or meeting friends.

Living close to the city center

Student village tenants have access to the free-of-charge gym at Rentukka, and they can also study in quiet learning spaces or use the group work rooms, to name a few examples. And sometimes it is nice to take a bus to the city center and go shopping or visit different parts of the city.
