Commentaire personnel

Well, everybody can find something! My favorite places the Studenthouse DRIV (cheap food and many different "events"), Cafe Paletten (to play chess, drink Cafe au Lait and watch football on big screen), Cafe Aunegarden (to drink cafe and eat cake), the Hurtigruten ships (they stay in Tromsø everyday between 14:30 and 18:00, and you can drink and eat there, breathtaking). Alfheim Stadium (top football at 70 degrees North) ... There are many more places to mention, but I don't have the time.

Logement

Type de logement: Appartement/maison

Organisé par: Université d'accueil

Si j'y retournais je choisirais: Appartement/maison

Pourquoi?

I lived in a house at Stakkevollan which is about 20 minutes to university and 60 minutes to "downtown". The accomodation was superb, I didn't miss anything, and the costs for it were absolutely OK.

Commentaire personnel

Of course not all student hostels/homes are like mine, there are actually two or three I wouldn't like to live, but you can change your accomodation if you want. Compared to my experiences in Germany accomodation was much better in Tromsø.

Dépenses habituelles

Easy question! Norway is the most expensive country in the world, but I knew this before, and I dealt well with it. If you want you can work besides your studies, and then you deal even better. Of course you might run into problems (as some friends did) when you are used to regular drinking and smoking.

Général, Logement, Voyager, Alimentation:

Plus cher que chez moi

Vie nocturne:

Aussi cher que chez moi

Téléphone:

Moins cher que chez moi

Commentaire personnel

Yes! Don't drink, don't smoke, don't buy meat too often, then you should do fine. It's hard to have the same standard of living in Norway as in Central Europe, when you want to live cheap.

Commentaire personnel

Primarily I came to Norway to increase my knowledgt of my Norwegian (one of my main studies at home), but the Arctic Norway course, which is taught in English changed this a bit. Anyway my Norwegian increased as well, primarily outside classes

No, I got plenty of information before, and the guys from International Office and Social Office were brilliant (watch out for that Information Week!).

Recommandation personnelle

I recommend it strongly, I loved it. But I'm not everybody. Tromsø is located at 70 degrees north, a place with fantastic nature, close to wilderness and so on. "Big city people" who are not into that, might have problems to cope with this. If not you will enjoy the year of your life!

Études

Recommandations de cours

I can recommend the course "Arctic Norway" (in English), which is a brilliant mixture of (Northern) Norwegian history, social anthropology and politics. I even got an idea about my thesis there. There was nothing missing at that course. The course "Norwegian for foreigners" is recommended for people who want to learn more about the language, not to learn the language. For those the evening courses are highly recommended.

Not really, I think the system here is more efficient as the one I'm used to from home. Had nothing to complain about.
