Academic
Course recommendations
to have a wider choice of study programs I would recommend the applicants to take a one year language course on Norwegian Language and Culture. The programs/courses available in English are increasing,still there are just few Masters and Bachelors.

Personal comments
The academic life is restricted to ones own budget...one as a student will have to better decide on how the budget shall be distributed.Library is a good resource to improve your daily academic life. All books recommended by teachers are available at the library, just use it and your academic life will get 10 times cheaper and more social :)

Overall
I wish I had known...
nothing really, though I came to visit the country before I decided to come to Norway. That would be something I would recommend...come to visit, talk with the local students from your country, contact with the local international student union or the international department, they will help you to make a wise decision.
