There are many students living in Jyväskylä (a third of the total population), leading to some people calling Jyväskylä the "[[Athens]] of Finland".
== Hitching Hitchhiking out =====South-west towards [[Tampere]], [[Turku]] ({{Vfi|9/E63) or west towards [[Keuruu]] (23)}} {{E|63}} ===There's a pretty good hh-spot just next to the university's campus called Mattilanniemi. '''Coming from the center:''' follow the street called '''Kauppakatu''' (the name changes into '''Korkeakoskentie'''). There's a bridge for pedestrians over '''Rantaväylä''' to the university campus. Don't cross the bridge but go down the small hill to the "shoulder", the side of the road, of Rantaväylä. Walk a bit closer to the traffic lights.
