It goes without saying that the school and teachers were very good. My teachers were very friendly and helpful. They were patient with my questions and mistakes. I also had fun in many activities that were organized by the international program.

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”.
