Would you recommend it?
Si it’s a great place because not far from oslo center however be ready to buy everything (sheets, kitchen stuff, etc..) and throw it away when you move out which is not very ecofriendly :/ But you have a lot of cool and useful places in that residence such as a rooftop, studyrooms and of course laundry machines
🍻 Social Life
What are some top bars, clubs, or events you recommend?
The best place to have a drink would probably be on torggata street lot of bars and there is also a street food with lot of food variety to eat something as well
🎓 Uni life at BI Norwegian Business School
Which classes do you recommend… or not?
Do NOT take Advanced Human Resources Management if you don’t want to write a long essay and if you are not ready to attend classes lasting 6hours with lot of material that you will need to learn by heart. However, classes with the teacher Anton Gollwitzer is 100% recommended as he’s a very nice profesor who manage to make class content very interesting with actual real life examples and practical case studies that allows you to understand easily the content
Do you have some tips?
The campus is very cool, with lot of associations and a gym in it. You also have the student bar next to it with very great activities during the day and good music for the night. However, it’s a bit far from the center if you want to go by foot but very close by bike (for public transport it takes around 30min if you live in the center)
✈️ Travel
Best trips to do?
Go follow the oslo esn instagram account. They plan every week-end very good hiking trips around oslo and around with other fun and more chill activities during the week suche as cinamonbun hunt, bonfire, language cafe, etc… It’s a very nice opportunity to make friends with whom you will spent the entire semester together
🌆 Oslo vibe
What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in Oslo?
You should know that the tickets for public transport in oslo are only possible through the app called: ruter or you can go to the seven eleven and ask for a bus card there but trust me it’s much easier to use the app from the beginning ! In oslo you can experience all type of weather in the same day going from raining as hell to a beautiful sunny day in the afternoon to finallz end up with snow at night so be ready for every type of weather when you go out.
💡 Other Tips
Don’t expect to see Northern lights from Oslo you will need to go more North such as tromdheim, tromso or lofoten. You have some chances to see them in Oslo but you will need to be very lucky. For me i only managed to see them only once in oslo (at sognsvann lake) but it wasn’t that amazing as those that i saw in other northest places
