Tom in Oslo

Hei! Jeg heter Tom. (Hey, I am Tom.) I study Geography and Sports at HU to become a teacher. I am already in my Master's and this is my second time abroad. I'm spending this semester at the University of Oslo in Norway and sharing my adventure with you.

HU and Oslo in com­par­i­son: my uni­ver­si­ty rank­ing

Half a year abroad – my biggest take­aways

My months in Oslo have been some of the best I’ve had, and I’m taking a lot away from them. In this blog entry, I’ll share what makes Erasmus friendships special and which university classes were the best.
