Study hard in the winter, because after 4 months of rain, it'll be hard to study for exams when the sun finally shows its face.

Housing
Type of housing: University housing outside 7 km from the campus
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Although I met many cool people in the university housing, there were not many Norwegians, so I spoke way too much English!

Personal comments
All of the international students are placed together, which makes for very little interaction with Norwegian students.

I liked the mountain Ulriken, the travell along songfjords and the nights in the Garage (a good pub with concerts). I went too to tha Nationalscene, one of betters teather of the country to see a performance of F. Garcia Lorca.

I was a little disappointed of the ending exams. They should ask more specific questions instead of one for a three hour exam
