Description:
The Parliamentary Resolution of 9th April, 1946, formally established the University of Bergen. By European standards the University of Bergen is a young university. However, its academic roots are deep. Research and teaching have long been fields of activity in Bergen's Museum, which was founded as far back as 1825.

Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
Bergen is very isolated, so travel in and out of it is more time consuming and/or expensive. Ski trails up at Geilo/Voss are free, so take advantage!!!!!!! In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!

Personal recommendation:
It's great, but try to integrate yourself and bring/buy good raingear (including shoes!) FINAL COMMENTS
The trains often have "green departures" which means that they are half price. The Turforlag (or something to that nature) has great hiking maps of the area. The cheapest way to fly is to go to the airport and buy a "sjansebillet" which is on a space available basis, but there is always space! Do not try to continue your habits of eating out all the time, it will get you fat and cost you too much money, try to eat like a Weegie (Norwegian) make open-faced sandwiches to bring to school. Buy a bike if you'll be at Fantoft, it'll save you 570 NOK a month!!!! Check for the police aucitons, they have the cheapest bikes in town. Get your but out and explore some of the great hills surrounding Bergen, they all have trails and offer the best views around. Don't just do Floyen once, go up every month, walk both ways if you can.

Personal recommendation:
The most interesting lectures are in Norwegian and even though the University offers a program in English I would say that knowing the local is a plus on a academical point of view. FINAL COMMENTS
Norway is very expensive so people with a erasmus scholarship must be ready to make some compromises in order to live there. It is a beautiful country and it is worth travelling if we have the opportunity. The social life there is really great. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

A great place to go on Erasmus, very organized. FINAL COMMENTS
The university is great there where lots of activities I only knew about them in the end. Try to meet more norwegian students that know how things work, they can give you great advices. In Fantoft with all the international students you will have the chance of your life to make friends from everywhere. Enjoy everything, everyday because it all ends too quickly.

Personal recommendation:
The university is located in a very nice city between 7 mountains and the biggest fjords of Norway (Hardanger and Sognefjord nearby!) it's beautiful I can tell you! FINAL COMMENTS
If you have time, money and made good budies to go travelling around, you should take the Interrail pass for Scandinavia! It gives you 12 days of travelling around in Norway, Sweden and Finland for a quite cheap deal! I made a 5000km trip via Oslo-Trondheim-Narvik-Helsinki-Stockholm-Oslo-Bergen, which was just fantastic! (best time to travel is may-june) This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
