JU campus

The campus of JU is located in Jimma. This is a fairly large city that opens up many opportunities for students: from cafes, restaurants and other entertainment to internships at large companies. But an urban campus can also be a disadvantage, because big city life distracts some students from their studies. Students have access to the extensive scientific library of the university. The collection of scientific papers helps them in conducting research. Foreigners who come to JU through exchange programs study and live with local students. Thus, the university promotes intercultural exchange and the establishment of interethnic relations.
