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.

Personal comments
Improving my skills in norwegian was one of my motivation to go to Bergen. Therefor I followed an intensiv language course during the first semester and chose some university courses in Norwegian during the second semester. I did improve my norwegian but did not have enough opportunities to speak with nativ speakers, most of my friends being exchange students as well.
