Personal comments
Despite I never spoke Norwegian, it wasn't a problem for me. Almost all Norwegians speak english and everything on TV is in the original version. Also the movies in the cinema.
Neither at school because all my courses where in english as they belonged to an International Master in Business.

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
Because it's the best way to get to know the other students and share "a student life" while leaving really close to the school.

Personal comments
Despite the student residence should need some arrangements in terms of manteinance and modernization, it was pretty good and the price was quite acceptable.
The location was perfect in terms of proximity with the school and the sport facilities, and also at only 15 minutes by bus from the city center.

Personal comments
My favourite night clubs were Maxim's, Agora, Metro and Scotsman.
Some nice cafes, specially Portofino and Mr.Bean.
Don't leave Bergen before the National Day on the 17th of May. It's incredible! The streets are full of people wearing their regional dresses. The Norwegian flag is everywhere and there is also plenty of music and fun in all the city during all the day and night.
Bergen is the perfect city for students loving nature. Amazing landscapes at few minutes from the city center
(Funicular of Floien), and also incredible trips through the fiords (Sognefjord, "The fiord of dreams", which is the biggest fiord in the world).
