Personal comments
It was well equipped; we had a gym, many laundries, many kindergarten, a post office and shops in the area of the student residences (Kringsjå Studentby consists of about 30 blocks with rooms and apartments solely for students). The price was good, especially for Norwegian standards! Kringsjå is at the northern end of Oslo and whithin a couple of minutes one can reach a very beautiful and popular lake in the bordering woodland. The public transport connections to go downtown are good (the T-bane (some kind of subway) goes there every 15 minutes and there is a near bus station. A good place for students!

Final comments
Informations for travel destinations are available in local travel agencies. A mix of paying with credit cards (VISA is best, but especially in food stores they often take only Norwegian credit cards), e-banking and cash is advisable.
I never had big problems in this beautiful country!
