Oh that's right.. BI/NHH are for business... NTNU is one of Norway's foremost science universities (it's in Trondheim which is about ~ 10 hours from Oslo)

Ive heard amazing things about that school. Can't remember if it was public or private so dunno if free or not.



As for living expenses... Well it's the most expensive country in the world.


Cost of living is generally 50-60% higher than the US but the overall cost of living in Oslo isn't THAT much higher than in NYC as the rent isn't as ridiculous and other cities. Trondheim will be cheaper than Oslo too.


the part where you'll notice price difference the most is food and ESPECIALLY alcohol. A beer is easily $15.. a bottle of vodka in the store is $50-ish and a shot at the bar is $10-12

Also cars, a Chevrolet Camaro for instance is like $250,000 but that won't be a problem for you as a student


Estimated living costs:

~ $500-600 on food
~ $500 on rent (should include electricity internet and satellite TV)
~ $100 per night out
~ $200 on misc (travel card, mobile phone subscription, some clothes here and there, cinema tickets...)

we're talking ~ $1500-ish per month but bear in mind that almost any job will pay you $25 an hour. My part time job in a factory pays $35/hour base rate, and adds up to $80 PER HOUR during weekends/bank holidays at night ^^

A friend of mine here in Oslo pays NOK 3200 which works out at $500 per month for a studio apartment where he shares a bathroom with 1 person, and a kitchen with 6-7 other people, but has own living room / bedroom of about 20m² or so.

I checked Sio.no for prices and they seemed to mostly hover around the $500 USD mark. The apartments right next to our school cost a premium though... they're $900/month but are only 200m from campus :L (and relatively big; 25m² 1 person or 50m² for 2 people)

If you eat at home and eat healthy food, you can easily eat 6 huge meals a day and keep it around $500. If you eat out a lot... Be prepared to cry.


grade system at college/university is same as in the USA I believe. Letters A, B, C...


high school and middle school use numbers.

A = 6
B = 5

F = 1
