I wish I had known...
I wish I had known sth more about Norwegian people's characteristics, the way they interact with foreigners. They appeared to be more reserved than I thought before, and you have to be really patient and initiative to make more than formal conversation with somebody. though all of them were nice and helpful if I asked.

Personal recommendation
This is totally Norwegian environment and it's really hard to be accepted, if you're foreigner. There are only some international students and you are lucky to find any. But if your communication skills are good enough to break any ice, to hold to speaking Norwegian and be creative to find different activities to make your life interesting - this is a perfect place to go! Lillehammer is cosy town and you'll not regret any hour of being there! The same about the college: it's good library, courses and staff is what I can't forget!

Final comments
If you have Norwegian student card (you get it there), your costs for trains are - 60%. So, therefore use trains! :)
Try to be active at school: take part in making student week UKA, be a member of different groups (they are plenty there), find the videorooms and piles of worlds best films in library, look around and experience the most beautiful winter (white, cold and sunny) in your life! :)

no... everything was great the way it was.. Maybe if I knew how great it would be I would have applied for the whole year not only one semester.

University arranges trips for international students but I travel also with friends. It's amazingly beautiful country. And planning trips in advance (booking train tickets etc.) can save you a lot of money.
