There are a lot of nice cafes, bars and restaurants. Oslo offers a great selection of different places to go. It is just to know where to go because the prices differs from place to place.

I wish I had learned some Norwegian before coming here, as it would have been less intimitating when trying to communicate with others

Improve the amount of english communication that they have. Alot of the school signs etc...is not in english and it make it difficult for foregin students to work things out and transition at first.

Nightclub: Camelot (Best place to be on a Saturday night after midnight, Cover charges 70 Kr). There are many good pubs all around Sandvika but the college pub serves the cheapest beer, 26 Kr, while outside its around 50 Kr. The college cafe is great place to hangout between classes and for discussions. The college arranges a party at a nightclub in Oslo every month which is not to be missed. There is a Kino (Movie theatre) play a number of latest english movies (70 Kr). If you want more entertainment, Oslo is only 20 minutes by train from Sandvika.
