One of the best parts of studying in Jyväskylä was meeting new people. At our school, Gradia, we had a unique experience delivering food to different locations across the city. Since Gradia is a large campus with multiple buildings, food is prepared in a central kitchen and then distributed to other schools. After breakfast, we also collected everything back.
Every time we went on a delivery, we were paired with a different student. This gave us the opportunity to meet many people, exchange opinions, and learn about their experiences. It was interesting to see how students from different backgrounds approached the same tasks.
The deliveries weren’t just about work – they were also a chance to have fun. Conversations made the time pass quickly, and we often laughed and shared stories. Some students were more talkative, while others were quieter, but everyone was friendly and open.
This experience showed me how easy it is to connect with people when working together. Even though we were only in Jyväskylä for a short time, we made great memories and met some amazing people along the way.
