Personal spending habits

In Norway everything is extremely expensive and clearly more expensive than in Switzerland. An exception was the surprisingly competitive telecommunication industry. Mobile phones were cheap and the telecommunication services good. The student residents are reasonably priced.

Overall, Travel, Food:

was more expensive than at home.

Nightlife:

was the same price as at home.

Housing, Telephone:

was less expensive than at home.

Personal comments

Anker is a housing for all the foreigners mainly who apply for residence permit in Norway, so it tends to be not such a quite nice neighbourhood. Plus I would have expected a little more from the facilities for the price. But it is very close to school and the city which is nice.

The fact to study and live in another country with another language was a very exciting challenge for me, which I think successfully overcome. I Improved my level of English, I learned some Norwegian and I could enjoy a new culture.
