Hello everyone. I'm new to this forum.
My name is David, I'm from Israel and I'm considering moving to Norway to study after I'm done with my military service here. I have in my mind to study International Relations/International Studies.
As brief as I can, these are my questions:
I read a lot about Norway being one of the most expensive countries to move to. Compared to Israel it sure is. So considering all this and having in my mind to settle down for accommodation at a university at first, is the 80,000-87,000 NOK required by academic institutions enough for the year or should I point upwards? Of course, thinking economically and counting every cent.
About work - how hard is it to find a part time job when you're not speaking the language (the first year at least) and how much on average can you earn (after taxes) with the 20 hour per week limit?
I guess the only concerns I have are funds. Since it's quite a big leap to take on that side.
I would like to hear of the experience. Staying in Israel is the easy way to study what I have in mind. It's just that I think that deliberately putting yourself in an uncomfortable situation makes the experience so much more interesting.
So please, feel free to hit me with your experience. :)
Thanks a lot.
