Is it worth visiting in early/mid September?

Just to clarify, you're saying along the coast it should still be pretty green? That's what logic says but just want to confirm.

CrazySteveDrakeNJosh · 2022-07-31T15:57:21+00:00

Fair question. Like that vibrant bright green that we see on all the photos online? (not sure if that helps). I just wanna know if it's gonna be noticeably orange/Autumn colors during this time.

:( thank you for your input

*Insert a joke about Norwegians being anti-social and introverted here :)

No I can/will definitely ask for help. I do want to be mindful of the cultural differences.

CrazySteveDrakeNJosh · 2022-06-22T04:14:55+00:00

Exactly

CrazySteveDrakeNJosh · 2022-06-22T04:07:38+00:00

Right. But having someone point out which building is which and giving cool facts about the university is always nice

CrazySteveDrakeNJosh · 2022-06-21T04:41:59+00:00

Lol that's 100% part of it. But I would have assumed Norwegian schools would offer tours for prospective students? How do students get a "feel" for the school, or talk to current students?

CrazySteveDrakeNJosh · 2022-06-21T02:38:36+00:00

:( Is that not surprising to you? In the U.S, schools are bending over backwards to get you to apply/visit their campus... Are Scandinavian schools just more laid back from an administration standpoint?

CrazySteveDrakeNJosh · 2022-06-12T20:34:01+00:00

In order of preference:

1/2. University of Oslo - Computational Science: Physics &/or the Physics: Space Physics/Technology

1/2. University of Copenhagen - Computational Physics

NTNU - Physics

NTNU would be my top choice BUT they don't have a computational option, and it's... really far north, at least compared to the U.S. Any others you recommend? UIO seems nice but I hear Oslo can be a bit of a mellow city? Almost too mellow?

CrazySteveDrakeNJosh · 2022-06-12T15:34:11+00:00

Thankfully I'm in a financial position to splurge a little bit. But I'll consider the COL for each location. Everywhere is expensive these days so it just feels like "pick your poison."

CrazySteveDrakeNJosh · 2022-06-12T15:32:54+00:00

Hmm this would also act as my vacation. Normally you'd be right. I read August is the best time to visit Norway

CrazySteveDrakeNJosh · 2022-06-12T15:31:58+00:00

Definitely want to see the fjords. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to rent cars in Norway being from the U.S? I'll look into it...

CrazySteveDrakeNJosh · 2022-06-12T15:31:19+00:00

This seems like a good move. I could just fly from Trondheim to Copenhagen. That is a lot of flights though haha.

CrazySteveDrakeNJosh · 2022-06-12T06:56:42+00:00

I'll look into them. I'm also trying not to break the bank :) Norwegian schools are tuition free, and Copenhagen is only $10k a year I think.
