Administration is quite slow in Norway, act when you arrive to obtain your norwegian number to permit you to open an account and to obtain your student card.

it is really well organized and you are supposed to work hard, due to really strict marks. So being an Erasmus studnet in Oslo does not mean party all the day. At teh end of my courses I locked myself at home for studying.

If you want to go to Norway, it is better having a grant, that helps you to cover up most of the expenses. otherwise you have to be sure to have a proper ammount of savings. The Erasmus grant is almost nothing.

“Language summer course”
Karar h
Norway, Other courses
, 2021
Overall
I have applied for norwegian summer course and applied my documents before deadline 23/4 and then sent an email asking if there are further documents needed, instead of pointing out the rest of the documents needed, i have been told to go back to admission link which wasnt much of help from their side.
A month later i get to know that my application was denied due to some missing documents and have been told to wait for fall semester to register again as i have missed the deadline date for uploading my documents....
However, im still in contact with admission office to know why i was not qualified for the language summer course, they tell me that they have sent an email to me on 23rd telling me to upload more documents. Now i have checked all my emails and i can not find that email on 23rd they are talking about.
I wrote another email saying i havent received the email but i got a reply for my email with an email saying: as i mentioned before you received an email etc...., i did everything the right way and even emailed to ensure i have uploaded everything needed.
Mistake was not from my side as they claim i have received an email that i havent received. Its very disappointing planning my summer for the course that i wont join due to a mistake caused by the university and im blamed for it as they wont accept the fact that its their fault.

Pros
So far nothing
Cons
Irresponsible for their mistakes, not accurate with details and information, admission office lack english skills as they can not understand my email as i have to repeat my point more than 3 times in 3 different emails so communication skills is bad
