Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
I lived in student house named Storhove (that is one of the best there) and I really didn't have a single thing I could be disappointed about. costs were covered from my scholarship as well :)
Also other dorms are good enough, just a bit further from the school (have to take a bus).

Personal comments
Although the language of instruction was Norwegian, I didn't learn much of it during the year (except understanding it) It would be better if I had a course also in Norwegian language to improve my language skills more effective.
