Personal comments
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.

Well some people say you should go to REMA 1000 which is a cheap place, but the only real advice I can give is to bring food from home which lasts long. the students trip are good priced too usually.

For cheap shopping, go on a cruise to Denmark or drive over to Sweden. Also Sæfflebussen is a cheap way to visit Goteborg or Stockholm.
Bring a private insurance since the normal insurance doesn't cover everything
