Final comments

Get used to the vorspiel and nachspiel !! Do not stick too much with the rest of the international students , get to know the norwegian students instead and they will show you how to have good time. Participate to the trips and meetings organised by the ESN.

They have a good network to deal with the accomodation. Everything is arranged as soon as possible , the only thing was that the contract was only in norwegian.
