Personal comments
The reason to choose norway attended to academic matter rather than local language improvement. As everybody there speaks english it wasn't a problem to communicate but at the same time made it more difficult to learn norwegian. I arrived pretty late to start any course as well, so in the end it was a pitty that i wasn't able to learn it, just some phrases, technic language related to my studies and very basic gramatic rules

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
It has not so much to do with the place but my preferences. I'd rather live in an apartment as a common student rather than in a student village with other erasmus and exchange students in order to experience the norwegian lifestyle.

Personal comments
the choice made, living in the student village was obsviously a cheap option and helped you to know people from all over the world and join different activities. It is quite close to the university as well as downtown and you had any services you might need.
