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.

I didn't explore any work options Personal spending habits:
You are in a Scandinavian country! the living standard is pretty high compared to most other (European) countries. Especially alcohol and tabaco are heavily taxed! But in many occassions you get a fat discount (-50%) on display of your NORWEGIAN studentcard (trains, bus, museums, travelling arrangements,...) USE IT! Food, Travel, Nightlife, Overall, Telephone, Housing: was more expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
You are best of (and cheapest) when you stay at one of the Studenthomes of SIB (university housing dep.)I stayed at Fantoft, which is the biggest one with most international students (5km from city center). Go to Freetex for second-hand stuff to decorate your new place, or IKEA in Asane (outside Bergen, 20min. by bus) This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Norway is just a more expensive country, but ALWAYS ask (everywhere) if they have a student discount; they're often unadvertised! Food, Nightlife, Overall, Telephone: was more expensive than at home. Travel: was the same price as at home. Housing: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
Even though everyone always heads to IKEA first, check out the local Fretex (Salvation Army) much of its stuff is in good condition, and you can get great cheap Norwegian sweaters there! Try to make your lunches and avoid buying unnecessary things, you'll just have to schlep them home at the end of your stay! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
