Friendly Town, Supportive Professors
Small, but nice university city with everything you need and extra caring, attentative professors. The university is an inclusive, friendly place that creates a safe space for study and life in general. As an Erasmus student I always felt welcome and comfortable. I just wish the campus offered more vegetarian meals, but the canteen was always very helpful and came up with different options for me, when I asked.
A Tailored Experience
My university is one of Norway's smallest. Some would perceive this as a drawback; however, in my opinion, the university's size is its greatest strength. Being a smaller institution means the Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences can allocate attention and resources more evenly to every student who attends. It also lays the foundation for a closer, more interactive teaching environment than a larger university can provide. As a result, in my university training, I have had the opportunity to be closely mentored and taught by researchers and highly experienced members of their field. This experience has been unique and invaluable for my education, providing me with expertise that I believe would be challenging to find in many other universities
Nice experience
My experience at the university where I study is a satisfactory one, I would like to specify in particular the courses that took place at a distance, which I participated in during the pandemic, as being extremely satisfactory, everything being extremely flexible, and the results being very good.
