Lorette, from Normandy, shares her first experiences of Oslo with honesty and humour: culture shock, student housing, Buddy Week, parties, food — including ice cream and chocolate — and Norwegian traditions that sometimes leave her puzzled.

How do you find student housing? What budget should you expect? How does university compare with France? Lorette shares useful discoveries, setbacks and favourite moments to give a clearer picture of student life abroad in Norway.

For anyone dreaming of Erasmus, considering a move to Norway or simply curious about life in the north. Make yourself comfortable and join the conversation.
