"I feel like JU has a lot to offer its students"

About 1,500 people came to the Open House at Jönköping University (JU) on 22 March.

"It would be great to go here, says Gabriel Nadvodniuk, who visited the School of Engineering (JTH).

Students and staff at Jönköping University's four schools welcomed visitors to the Open House and answered questions about programmes, campus, and student life and more. The schools held over 50 information sessions about their programmes. Jönköping Student Union and several of their associations were present, as well as the JU Solar Team, which will compete in the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge in Australia 24-31 August. In addition, the University Library as well as the restaurants and cafés on campus were open.

"For prospective students, the Open House is a perfect opportunity to visit us. Many come here with their parents or bring a friend to check out the University's study environments and talk directly with our students and programme managers," says Anders Wadell, Communications Officer at JU and coordinator of Open House.

"One of the first universities I looked at"

Gabriel Nadvodniuk, who is in his final year of the technology program at Njudungsgymnasiet in Vetlanda, likes programming and would like to study at the School of Engineering (JTH) at JU this autumn.

"JU was one of the first universities I started looking at. It feels like they have a lot to offer their students, so they definitely have my attention," he says.

He thinks that everything feels very accessible at JU with a close collaboration with the business community and good opportunities to get both internships during the study period and jobs after graduation. He mentions that there seems to be plenty of activities on campus through all the student associations and that it is a short distance to everything from JU.

"Jönköping is a great city and there is so much here. I have been here many times, but still have a lot left to see and discover."
