STUDENT LIFE
Personal social experience
Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Activities: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Nightlife: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
'3b' as the best pub. 'Studenter Samfundet' where everything happens. 'Downtown', 'Bajazzo', 'Rio' as best dancing clubs. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
ACADEMIC
3.0 / 5
My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
In my opinion, any student developing his diploma at a host University as I did, should follow in that period at least lectures abou one subject related to his field of study, in order to integrate him better at the host university.

Language difficulties
Language of instruction: English
Was learning English a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't. Personal comments:
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.

OVERALL
Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
Litle norwegian! In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
I strongly recommend this university to not-urban people who don't care so much about the weather!! They have generous resources, lots of diferent projects and you can easily 'trace your own track' FINAL COMMENTS
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...
