Personal comments
The language of instructin is Englis, and I would have excepted just Italian as another possible language of instruction. In Norway practically everyone speaks English so I a not handikept by my gnorance of Norwegian. The Norwegian course was offered at school at a reasonable, but it was still too much for my budget. I do regret not having better knowledge of Norwegian language.

Course recommendations
We had 10 out of 15 mandatory courses, and the 5 electives should be among the one offered for our program, so there is not so much to choose, but the one offered are very interesting and relevant for the course. Still, there are some electives offered for all master students, but it is quite reasonable to follow the program instead of wondering of since it is a specialization.

It is videly known that Norvegian prices are astronomic so there is a reason. The categories I was spending less are the "luxuries" so there the cuts happen!

In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
I think the university itself is good, but the culture and the country itself brings a lot to the product and experience of the university. Beside the study program which had to be very near my expectations and ides (and it is!), everything is offered here, you just have to enjoy it, study, not worry how to aquire the basing studying resources... You can choose and organize your self beautifully, and in that the university makes an important role.

Final comments
It is important to assess the university before you seriosly consider it, and that you can do through the communication process with the university. It has been shown to be a good indicator. If everything is a problem, the mails are not replied within a reasonble time, you have to put in a lot of energy to get basic information, they do not have nechanisms to for example find housing, organize health care, contact with embassis - they probably do not take good care of foreigh studets.
