i can surely say without a doubt that my exchange experience at  nord university was far from ordinary. i met so many wonderful people who i am still in contact with today. my favourite part of my exchange was living in a different country while being able to open up and expand my horizons. nord university staff picked me up from the airport and brought me right to my accommodations, showed me around campus and made me feel comfortable. i never had any issues with the language barrier, as everyone spoke english! additionally, they offered tons of great events such as hiking and trips for free to highlight northern norway. there were also several scholarships available which helped in reducing costs.
