“Generally a waste of time, but great math classes”

Overall
NTNU is a generally pleasant school to attend. Keep your head low and do things which don't interest you too much, and you will manage to keep out of trouble from the faculty and students. In Norway there are people who want to have fun messing with you and your work. Some people will intentionally drag their feet to make you feel sick, there are really not many worthwhile opportunities in the country so performance doesn't matter to anyone.
The courses generally are not useful in any way, and you will not be prepared for the work force. The T in NTNU could be removed. For my bachelors, I did expensive courses online to prepare me for my work. Non of the courses at NTNU are useful for a professional career. For my masters, non of my courses prepared me for my thesis work. Generally, faculty will not get in your way but they will not be helpful either.

Careers
People generally do not answer their emails and don't really care about the student. Very bureaucratic and generally lazy and non-present. It is best to try to avoid them to keep out of trouble, you will only be pushed to do silly stuff if you work with these people. Non of my interests align with the interests of the University.

'3b' as the best pub.
'Studenter Samfundet' where everything happens.
'Downtown', 'Bajazzo', 'Rio' as best dancing clubs.
