FAQ opening week
August 13th – August 24th, Weeks 33 and 34
Wednesday, August 13th at 11am at Bjørnsonhuset.
We are arranging free buses from Campus at 10:15am to take you to the opening ceremony. Employees wearing t-shirts will guide you and be available to answer your questions both on the bus and at Bjørnsonhuset. Don’t hesitate to ask them for help!
Attendance is not mandatory, but we encourage everyone to participate as much as possible. This is a great opportunity to get to know your fellow students.
To be assigned a buddy group, please register here.
Apart from that, you do not need to register for the various activities, as they are all included in the wristband. If limited space is available for any of the activities, it will be clearly indicated in the marketing.
After the welcoming ceremony at Bjørnsonhuset, you meet up at Aker Stadium. There, you will get to meet your buddies and your buddy group.
Don’t worry! We have designated buddy coordinators who will follow up on the groups and assign them accordingly. Contact us or speak to any of us wearing the opening week t-shirt and we’ll sort it out!
We recommend purchasing a wristband so that you can participate in as many activities as possible. Wristbands are required for entry to, amongst other things, the stand-up comedy and concert.
The price is 350 NOK + plus a fee of 30 NOK.
You can buy a wristband here.
If you are unable to purchase through the link, you can buy the wristband in the bookstore located in the A building.
We recommend that you buy it as early as possible.
It’s going to be great! Our buddies received thorough training and will respect the fact that some people choose not to drink alcohol for various reasons. We have created a varied program with different activities where alcohol is not the main focus, and mocktails are available at the various bars.
