Course recommendations
I recommend to an exange student to register more courses of all different specialisations than is needed, and then (after 2 weeks) decide which to keep according to the personal and career requirements.

Personal comments
I would appreciate to interact more with the Norwegian students in the team work. The teams were created mainly of the exchange students, and so we didn´t have such good chance to work and study with Norwegians.
Otherwise I find the Business School of a very high quality.

Course recommendations
The courses I had chosen were all of adequate quality. I explicitely recommend organizational psychology courses in general; the Scandinavians are good at that! I can also recommend Prof. Gorm Kunøe's course in direct marketing.

Personal comments
No, on the whole, it was an interesting semester. However, the evaluation of the examinations did not always seem to be very objective. But it is like that all over Scandinavia; one has to get used to the special system they have.
