International students who talk about us
I tried to play as many sports as I can. I play soccer, rugby and baseball. All my teachers are also very nice. They always want to help me whenever they can.
~ Raul Corpas Navas, Spain, International Student
People here are very friendly. My home stay parents are great. They really treat me like one of their children. They have even introduced me as their “Norwegian daughter”.
