Housing

Type of housing: On campus

Arranged by: Host university

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House

Why?

It has not so much to do with the place but my preferences. I'd rather live in an apartment as a common student rather than in a student village with other erasmus and exchange students in order to experience the norwegian lifestyle.

Personal comments

the choice made, living in the student village was obsviously a cheap option and helped you to know people from all over the world and join different activities. It is quite close to the university as well as downtown and you had any services you might need.

There are intensive Language courses during the summer... they give you a basic knowledge ... then there are also courses during the study periods... forget them, learn by doing ... furthermore don't tell anyone that you speak english, since even rednecks are fluent in english ... and you might never learn as you theoretically don't really need it ...
