You can't get a Norwegian credit card since you don't have a Norwegian social security number.

the nightlife is really expensive, as much as 70 NOK for one beer. Drink before you go to a club and import as much alcohol as possible when you come to Norway

Norway is very expensive, an I was also more active in travelling and in social activities than I would be at home.

The first month's rent, as well as a deposit are due in residence upon arrival. To save money, don't eat out - it's very expensive!

Night life and alcohol in Norway are really expensive, but for non drinkers like me water is available, cold and free!! Housing and food are expensive compared to Spain, but buying together with other people lowers the cost a lot...and allows better meals to be prepared!!

Credit and debit cards from home worked sometimes, at university without problems, but in some cash dispensers problems appeared. Check with your bank the highest amount you can get with a card, to minimize the cost of it. Almost no offices of foreign banks.
