Type of housing: On campus

Arranged by: Host university

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House

Why? While the conditions of living in a dorm were satisfying and much superior to the one's in Romania, I didn't particularly enjoy sharing facilities like toilet and kitchen.

Personal comments:
Good conditions for a dorm, the price-quality aspect was balanced, the location was very well connected and you could easily reach important spots in town, including the university. Overall clean place, although the part that the tenants were supposed to attend to not so much and also the shared facilities posed a problem.

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House

Why? I would have choose a different area to live in, as there was other accomodations available in nicer areas of the city (yet not as close to the school) and the same price.

Personal comments:
The accomodations were satisfactory. They were conveniently located next to the school and in good location to the rest of the city. The accomodations didn't have the best facilities, location or cleanliness about them.

Type of housing: student apartments in Kringsjå (Studentby)

Arranged by: Host university

If returning, I would choose: again in student apartments somewhere in Oslo

Why? It was a good place to be as a student: many other students to meet, good facilities designed for the students' needs.

Personal comments:
It was well equipped; we had a gym, many laundries, many kindergarten, a post office and shops in the area of the student residences (Kringsjå Studentby consists of about 30 blocks with rooms and apartments solely for students). The price was good, especially for Norwegian standards! Kringsjå is at the northern end of Oslo and whithin a couple of minutes one can reach a very beautiful and popular lake in the bordering woodland. The public transport connections to go downtown are good (the T-bane (some kind of subway) goes there every 15 minutes and there is a near bus station. A good place for students!

Anker is a housing for all the foreigners mainly who apply for residence permit in Norway, so it tends to be not such a quite nice neighbourhood. Plus I would have expected a little more from the facilities for the price. But it is very close to school and the city which is nice.
