It was good because at the same time that you live by your own, you´ve got the chance to meet a lot of people in the same way.

Final comments

The university is great there where lots of activities I only knew about them in the end. Try to meet more norwegian students that know how things work, they can give you great advices. In Fantoft with all the international students you will have the chance of your life to make friends from everywhere. Enjoy everything, everyday because it all ends too quickly.
