Norwegian School of Management BI (NSM)

Nightclub: Camelot (Best place to be on a Saturday night after midnight, Cover charges 70 Kr). There are many good pubs all around Sandvika but the college pub serves the cheapest beer, 26 Kr, while outside its around 50 Kr. The college cafe is great place to hangout between classes and for discussions. The college arranges a party at a nightclub in Oslo every month which is not to be missed. There is a Kino (Movie theatre) play a number of latest english movies (70 Kr). If you want more entertainment, Oslo is only 20 minutes by train from Sandvika.

I was provided accomodation at BSV a appartment/dormitory for students. The facilities were excellent. The cost was on the higher side but one has to accept that in Norway.

Learn to cook and save money on eating out.

Travelling around europe is very easy and therefore before going get visas for those countries not covered under schengen like UK, Switzerland, Czech republic etc. Busses are cheaper than trains. One can buy the Euroline Bus pass and save money. Also keep a lookout for cheap airlines like Ryanair, Goodjet, Gofly, Easyjet as they offer really cheap and sometime free tickets. I travelled on a Goodjet from Oslo to Paris for 19 euro.

Everyone in Norway speaks good English, so learning the local language was not necessary. If one can learn it, it's better but not compulsory.
