Final comments
UMB gives you possibility to buy Basic Equipment Package so that you don’t need to bring your own kitchen utensils, beddings, towels etc. [check at: http://www.sias.no/english/housing/student_residences/tenant_info/practical_info/basic_equipment_package.html ] It costs, however. The solution is to buy used one from a student that leaves UMB and don’t need it anymore (it’s cheaper!!!).
I am leaving at the end of this spring semester and want to sell BEP (complete, not damaged, in a very good shape). So if you are coming for winter semester 2007 and need one, just let me know.
