Where is Oslo?

How to get to Oslo

You can reach Oslo by plane . Low cost flights land in Torp (cheap but it

takes 3 hrs to Oslo) ;while from Gardamoen it takes less than 1 hour.

Something about Oslo

Oslo is a small city with a population of just 540000 people. Norwegians are shy, but honestand friendly.The landscape is characterized by woods, fiords,mountains and lakes.The weather is cold in the winter, but dry;

but the summer is used to be sunny.

Costs of life

To be honest I do not suggest Oslo as a city forstudents. Why?

• Life is expensive: groceries, accommodation, clubs, pubs

• If you are not 22-3 is difficult to enjoy the night-life

Positive features

• Discovering another culture• Honest and friendly people• Amazing landscapes• Improving english (English is the 2° language

and everybody speak)

My personal experience

I had a good time in Oslo because I faced another culture, that maybe from the Italian

point of view could seem strange. TheUniversity offers well structured courses. I got

many friends and saw amazing places, and I have learnt to sky as well.
