Hi Imogen,

All Norwegians, including young people take advantage of the few warm months during the summer. Many do rent cabins for the weekend or travel to their family’s cabins to enjoy the weather. During the summer my boyfriend and I like to take the boat out and sail to small islands to have picnics! There will still be plenty going on in the cities during the summer but expect a lot of outdoor activities! I haven’t travelled to the West or Bergen during summers but that doesn’t mean a lot haven’t! If I were you, I would think about going to Stavanger in the summer and taking advantage of the sun to hike Trolltunga and Preikestolen (hitting Kjeragbolten if you dare)!

Best,

Kelsey

I recently visited Oslo and fell in love with Norway in general (I did as much as I could in 2 days).

I’m wondering what the general consensus is for young people during the summertime. My friends and I are all around 23-25, and would love to come back in the summer. I know that lots of families have little houses on the islands in the Oslofjord, and some on the hills surrounding the water. I think I also heard that people go to the beach and hang out in Bygdoy. But I wondered what young people do during summer time in Norway? Do people rent houses in the West in the fjords, or Bergen? Just looking to plan a revisit trip!

Thanks so much.

I am from Arizona, with a Norwegian boyfriend as well, and I am looking at getting my master’s degree in Norway starting in 2019. I was wondering if I could email you with questions regarding how the application process was for apply to the master’s program, if/how you get financial aid or afforded to visa, etc? My email is hgr5@nau.edu

Thank you!

Hannah

Thank you Tove! I do enjoying having my own sense of style. I will keep that in mind.

Hello Alenush,

You can always pay to bring a second bag or pay extra for an overweight bag. I would definitely say to bring your laptop and maybe a few books. I brought 2 and have plans to just use the library and buy my textbooks here. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the input Pete, hopefully it will help someone else out! I, unfortunately am actually allergic and cannot even wear a wool blend. It certainly would make getting dressed in the winter easier! I’ve definitely noticed that job interviews and work attire tend to be more casual here than in the states but to me school and parties are quite a bit more formal. Thanks for the comment!
