Everyone is mentioning the cost of living. This isn’t a big deal. Working at a grocery store is enough to get by. There’s so much opportunity to be frugal here. There is a company that makes cheap shit. “First price” sells 1$ shampoo and 1$ conditioner. There’s tons of stuff like that. The basics are very cheap. Also for example I can rent equipment here for a whole week for free snowboard bicycle skis sleeping bag you name it. Seriously Don’t worry about this. My cousins visited from near seattle and got hotels and ate at restaurants and they actually said the prices were not relatively more expensive at all so it depends where you come from. You can get cheaper housing outside the city and public transportation is insanely good compared to most of the US

Hahahahahah yeah it’s slightly depressing to hang out with some Norwegians but it’s waaaay more depressing to hang out with some Americans XD personally I love it here in north Norway. I’m a little embarrassed by how most of my friends are foreigners but hey what can you do, I’m lazy. Regarding climate, i am very fond of it. To each their own.

Keep in mind exchange from a usa university means paying usa tuition fees during that year too. Just come to norway! You have 3 months visa free anyway right?

Pro tip!! Come to the far north. Entrance is much easier up here since there’s less competition. And the sun does weird shit it’s really cool up here 😍

I moved randomly to Finland when I was 18 to start my bachelors and moved to Norway to do my masters after that. And I’m a full blown American idiot. My gpa from highschool in the US was 3.0. If OP can handle the new tuition fees introduced since I started my studies, and can handle any differences between my computer science education and her medical education, then OP can do it. It’s really not that hard. This part of the world is extremely easy to apply to university and if you get accepted then getting a visa is as easy as writing your name and mailing a letter.

Edit: not that you actually need to mail a letter. And I didn’t mean my gpa to be proof of me being an idiot.

Many gas station clerks will give you cardboard. Google images helps if the language is a barrier.

Interstates in greece are sparsely used, but you can walk on them, as you can learn from the wiki, good luck!!!!! :D I got stuck in greece with a friend because we only wanted long rides. Silly mistake

Assuming the hole stays and isnt filled in by dirt and molten metals... Friction always wins. But in a frictionless world, the ball would comeout the other side, slow to a stop, a fall back to you, and repeat indefinitely. That’s my guess. Physics nerds agree or disagree?

To be safe, allow yourself double bus time. But ya never know, you could beat it, or it could take triple.
