FINAL COMMENTS

The area is beatuiful, it is really worth travelling around if you are a nature fan. All Norwegians speak perfect English, and they are always ready to help you. However, their culture is different, you should consider this before judging! You have to understand their way of thinking to understand their behaviour. Some might not seem open at first. But on the other hand you will not experience any power related differences, everybody is equal.

Information was well provided by university and I had mentored 2 guys from that university at home before going to Norway, so no big surprises.

FINAL COMMENTS

Bergen is precious, makes you love nature even more, Norway is a country to visit and to love, travel as much as possible with the other exchange students, helps to strenghten tights and you will love each and every kilometer you make!!! Visit: in the north: Alesund and Trollstigen, south drive to Preikestolen but not through the coast...drive the road next to Hardanger Fjord south to Stavanger and to the Preikestolen...it took us 10 hours by car...mainly because we stopped a lot to take tons of pictures (Thanks for inventing digital cameras!!!). Preikestolen is fantastic, it takes 1 hour to get there from the basis of the stone...try to be there early, to enjoy it with no one else, we arrived at the top at 8:00 am and stayed there for 3 hours....we took more than 300 pictures, so have your cameras empty before going up!!! We woke up at 5:30, it was worthfull!!!! It is an expensive country...but every Norwegian cround spent has an enormeous return of investment!!!!

Personal recommendation:
I don't really have any recommendations for this university as everything was very well organised. The only thing I can think off is about the language course, they could maybe try to inscribe students who wish to follow the course before they arrive so that there won't be any problems with the class being full.



FINAL COMMENTS

It's really nice to visit some other Scandinavian countries while your in Norway. The Scanrail-ticket (train ticket like Interrail but the only for Scandinavian countires) is very good mean for doing that.

FINAL COMMENTS

Plan to spend time travelling around Norway - there's so much beauty to see, and so many things to do! Also, don't forget to go on a boat cruise - either a mini-cruise to Denmark or on Hurtigruten, up the coast of Norway to Nord Kapp. They're fun trips!

FINAL COMMENTS

Bergen and Norway are beautiful places. A trip to the Fjords by ship or the famous Norway-in-a-nutshell trip (one-day trip by boat, train and bus starting from bergen)are worth doing. Constant hiking is very recommended: Bergen is not so much a big city than a nice and beautiful location for hikers etc. Norwegians are very nice people who i never experienced as being cold-hearted or difficult to get to know (typical prejudices about scandinavians)
