Classes & academics at JAMK
In their own words — what students said about classes and academic life at JAMK:
“The campus is nice. There were quite a few sports classes offered: muscle strengthening, Zumba, yoga, Pilates. We kept busy with all that. The day we started, we were supposed to have students from the school come and give us a tour of the campus, but they never came. And in our classes, 90% of the time, we were all French people in the same class. I find it a shame”
“The campus is pretty family like. Finnish are really kind and don't hesitate to ask if you have any issues. Also, the registration is pretty easy. You just have to be careful to the Finnish identity number you'll need to get. (they make sure it's not too terrible to get).”

The campus was very cool, it's nice to work in a good environment. The registration depended on the classes, it was either a QR code or a signature on paper.
