Good financial background is needed if you want to enjoy your exchange term. The ladies in the international office are very helpful and friendly, what ever you need, they will get it.

Keep most things like they are. It is very nice that exchange students are very well seen at university and involved in activities. Improve some courses, especially with better teachers.

That I would not leave and work here instead! I would have brought more stuff right away and taken good time for lots of goodbye hugs.

NHH should try to merge more profoundly activities and courses (incl. teamwork) for international and local students.

Do not, I repeat do not get caught in the 'golden triangle', i.e. campus - NHH - supermarket. Some rarely ever manage to get their way out of it.

My stay in Bergen was doubtlessly an unforgettable experience. I've learnt pretty much about myself and my colleagues. There was a lot of fun and hard working. I do really enjoy this time.
Everything depends on your expectations!

Information was well provided by university and I had mentored 2 guys from that university at home before going to Norway, so no big surprises.

Bergen is precious, makes you love nature even more, Norway is a country to visit and to love, travel as much as possible with the other exchange students, helps to strenghten tights and you will love each and every kilometer you make!!!
Visit: in the north: Alesund and Trollstigen, south drive to Preikestolen but not through the coast...drive the road next to Hardanger Fjord south to Stavanger and to the Preikestolen...it took us 10 hours by car...mainly because we stopped a lot to take tons of pictures (Thanks for inventing digital cameras!!!). Preikestolen is fantastic, it takes 1 hour to get there from the basis of the stone...try to be there early, to enjoy it with no one else, we arrived at the top at 8:00 am and stayed there for 3 hours....we took more than 300 pictures, so have your cameras empty before going up!!! We woke up at 5:30, it was worthfull!!!!
It is an expensive country...but every Norwegian cround spent has an enormeous return of investment!!!!

The area is beatuiful, it is really worth travelling around if you are a nature fan.
All Norwegians speak perfect English, and they are always ready to help you.
However, their culture is different, you should consider this before judging! You have to understand their way of thinking to understand their behaviour. Some might not seem open at first. But on the other hand you will not experience any power related differences, everybody is equal.
