Went to a student fair (in Norway) and picked up a magazine about studying abroad, from something called SONOR (Study Outside of Norway) and he found this little gem; Spoiler Celebrity status, here I come! Translation (It's very generic) My year at the American College of Norway is soon over. Time has flown past, and my experience has been fantastic. I have met several new people, both from Norway and the USA. It's very different compared to what I've experienced before in Norwegian schools, but I don't regret my decision for a second. I was very eager to apply for schools in the US, but I was blank as far as how to approach it. Fortunately, SONOR helped me figure out the steps and which choices I had. I ended up taking one year at ACN. SONOR were very efficient, and my questions were answered within 24 hours.
My first year of college was in Norway, at the American College of Norway, which is run in an American fashion.
Well first of all, Norwegian colleges/uni's are free to attend. Norwegian colleges don't have dorms the same way American ones do. (Majority of students don't live on the school in the same way) Different teaching styles. In Norway, for example, you are huge groups of students, where you only take a couple of exams. (The Majority is like that, at least). Being in class or not doesn't matter. And American Uni's are in the US :]
