Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
The location of the residences is really close to the school, and rent is cheap compared to off-campus living. Also, the atmosphere of the buildings is really fun - if you lived off-campus you'd miss out on a lot of the fun of having all your friends close by.

Personal comments
The set up of the residences is really well done - each group of 8-10 rooms has their own kitchen, which is perfect for dinner parties and pre-parties. The atmosphere of the buildings is really what makes it great, and it is facilitated by the set up, especially with the kitchens.

Academic
Course recommendations
Mergers and Acquisitions is a really good course - I would recommend that to anyone. Also, Culture and Ethics in Multinational Corporations is very interesting, but more work than most courses, so take it if you're interested, because it's great.

Personal comments
Not really - all the exams are worth 100% of your mark, so there's no real studying that has to be done until the end of the term. Pretty great, if you're on exchange, and want to travel!

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!

The first month's rent, as well as a deposit are due in residence upon arrival. To save money, don't eat out - it's very expensive!
