    My Welcome week in Bergen:

    Georgiana Marinescu, University of Bergen, Norway If you are lucky enough to be accepted into the University of Bergen, you will not regret it; they make you feel at home right away. On the first day of the Welcome Week, all of the new exchange students gathered at the Law Faculty and we were given our wristbands for the week and put into groups. Our groups were supposed to be the people we would spend the rest of the week getting to know, and for me, some of the people in my group became my closest friends.

    If you want to go exploring in Norway, why not start with the Capital?

    January 15, 2024 /

    By Georgiana Marinescu, University of Bergen, Norway In November, me and my friends decided to rent a car and drive to Oslo from Bergen and stay for a few days so we could explore the capital. If you or any of the friends you make in Bergen have a drivers licence, I would highly recommend driving despite it being an 8h drive as the views are worth it.
