Before Arrival: Norwegian Language

You must start learning Norwegian language at the first moment you decide on studying in Norway! Don’t just ignore this. It can be very very very helpful, especially if you are planning to work here.
The processing time for your college application is going to be very long, about 5-6 months (I will post the details on the timeline for application later), for now, keep this in mind: if you can speak Norwegian, you can get a job within the first month of your arrival here.
So prepare yourself. Learn about the most common expressions. Learn about greetings. Learn about foods. Learning a language won’t do you any harm. You don’t have to join any classes immediately, look for resources in the internet.
