“Irresponsive to the students”
Rakshya K

Economics, 2022

I spoke swedish, which was the reason I felt I could study in norwegian. It was at most part not an issue, only when dealing with the authorities, not in academic life. Slang was the most difficult part, but when you got used to it, it was rarely an issue.
