Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim (NTNU)

I was not coubnting on paying a depositum for the rent of the apartment.

Norwegian people, and in particular at higher education life, have good skills in english and so that, comunnication has been quite pleasing. However, comunnication potential is strongly increased if one of the speakers is using his mother tongue. That is the reason why, in my opinion, they should reinforce the resources available for foreigners to learn norwegian, wich exist but could be improved.

Don't forget: your self-standing working and living skills, a good temathic 'english-yournaturallanguage' dictionary and also boots (even if you don't like hiking. It can snow a lot!), goretex raincoat, sleeping bag, kompass, snowboard, skis, customs (!), open mind, spirit of adventure... and maybe some wine or other spirit. This is a 'cruel high price' country, specially alcohol, tobacco, meat and benzine! You will find: Great academical resources, not stressed working enviroment and also wonderful crazy norwegian people, cozy 'kafes', hawaian parties in February, barbaques, student life, international enviroment, tolerance, exceptional breathless nature...

'3b' as the best pub. 'Studenter Samfundet' where everything happens. 'Downtown', 'Bajazzo', 'Rio' as best dancing clubs.
