Hello everyone,
Officially spring semester is over, however unofficially it was over in the first half of May. This spring has started relativety late at the same time the snow melting was very intensive. Last few weeks the weather has been very warm and already several days of a bit colder weather now.
The university cumpuses a much calmer now, and there are routine repairing work are going on in different parts of unviersity.
Please take into account that not all the Amica units which provide food services will work all the summer:

Please also take into account that summer schedule of University library will change in summer time, for instance in Joensuu campus the timetable for summer period is following:
For those who has not have time to explore cultural features and history of Finland are welcome to do it in summer. It is definately the best season. There are a lot of indoor and outdoor activities, both within and outside of Joensuu. Just couple of interesting places to visit in Joensuu:
- The North Karelian Provincial Museum
- Joensuu Art Museum
- Taitokortteli, the Artisan's quarter
