StarFlux: Good day to you! I would like to know if the pay from jobs gotten as students can make up the NK104,500 required? Secondly, I would also like to know if it's easy to secure a job upon completion of ones studies. Thank you |
Re: Nigerians In Oslo, Norway by StarFlux: 12:38am On Oct 21, 2018 |
via2eddiez:Yes. 20 hours a week (as is allowed) will yield more than 100k (around 120-130k would be my guess with an average hourly wage). Getting a job isn't that difficult if you can speak and write Norwegian. If you don't speak Norwegian then you'll have a tough time finding someone willing to hire you. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Hello guys, I am new here and have been reading this thread for a while now. Please can one differ his admission if you don't have the 5.5million currently? |
Re: Nigerians In Oslo, Norway by bucky123(m): 9:02pm On Oct 22, 2018 |
Deferment of admission is not allowed, for UiS at least (I believe it should be the same for other schools tho). I can't say for other schools. If you're admitted to UiS and can't make it to Norway that year for one reason or the other, you have to re-apply for admission. The only thing you should do (and can do) is notify them and they will keep your documents for the next application period. mariaekay: |

Re: Nigerians In Oslo, Norway by StarFlux: 12:31am On Oct 25, 2018 |
Uchboggy:Indeed. Many are told that Norwegians excell at speaking English. This is true for the most part, but this doesn't mean that's what they prefer speaking. I was at a party once with this exchange student fromt Finland. The guy didn't know a single word in Norwegian, and despite the host's attempt to get people to speak English only, everyone continued to speak Norwegian to the student's dismay. That's essentially what you can expect in everyday life as well with no skills in the language. You'll feel disintegrated and not a part of the community. English won't keep you floating at all. 3 Likes |

So we've got to learn Norwegian too. Scandinavian countries are the best run countries in the world but how are you guys coping with their weather 1 Like |
Re: Nigerians In Oslo, Norway by StarFlux: 1:56am On Oct 26, 2018 |
yinkeys:Spring: pretty OK, but it rains quite a bit. Summer: amazing with very comfortable temperatures. Fall: rains, and days are short. Winter: pretty much constant darkness with only a few hours a day of sun. You'll find the weather depressing unless you adapt the Norwegian way of dealing with it: sit inside and have a good time with friends (commonly called "kos" - having a good time sort of). 2 Likes 1 Share |

[quote author=StarFlux post=71973186]You can apply for a job seeker visa during your studies, but you must document sufficient funds during this period which is a lot of money: 240k NOK per year. Is there a way to retain stay despite this requirement or you have to come back to Nigeria |
Re: Nigerians In Oslo, Norway by StarFlux: 1:34am On Oct 29, 2018 |
Uchboggy:Your post got me thinking. The truth is that yes, Norway does have a high material standard of living. But stuff and things alone cannot make you happy. So what is Norway really like for the Nigerian mind? It's hard to say to be frank with you guys. I think though, that if you are intent on adapting and integrating yourself with society, you'll have a good life. However, integration comes at a cost. The Norwegian way of life is highly sedentary and the culture demands that you become like all other Norwegians. If you deviate from whatever "Norwegian" really means in the social hive-mind, then you're off to having a rough time. Hence you'll have many immigrants saying Norwegians are cold, impersonal and unwelcoming. That's not really the case to be honest, it's just that the culture values discretion and avoidance to a large degree (unfortunately). Traditional Nigerian village life is mostly collective in nature (in contrast to the individualistic Norwegian social structures), and even city life in Nigeria is to a certain degree collective although capitalism is pretty much destroying the remnants of collective society for the sake of individualism. So in the end, what is it like to live in a society that is individualistic through and through? In my opinion it can be lonely and sad, especially in the beginning, so be ready for that. That is not to say Norwegians are bad people (they're not). However, society is vastly different from Nigeria and don't deceive yourself by thinking that life will automatically be perfect over here. [quote author=smokers post=72494070][/quote] I don't know, unfortunately. Maybe. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Nigerians In Oslo, Norway by Uchboggy(m): 6:41am On Nov 02, 2018 |
yinkeys:your friend is right about winter, There are African stores and I must commend those guys, there are some things you will find there and be shocked how/why they brought them here. You’ll be wondering if anyone would ever buy them. The only issue is that African stores are very expensive compared to what is obtainable for the same item in Africa. You’ll get used to things being expensive sha because everything in Norway is expensive especially when you always convert to naira .lol 1 Like |
