FAQ opening week
August 14th – August 24th, Weeks 33 and 34
Wednesday, August 14th at 11am at Bjørnsonhuset.
We are arranging free buses from Campus at 10:15am to take you back and forth 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 will return to the college for a brief introductory session in the classroom with the others in your class. At the end of this session, your buddies will come into the classroom and call out the names of those who will be in their 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 399 NOK.
Information will be posted on where to buy the wristband on campus the first day.
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.
