Are you satisfied with your exchange, and would you recommend others to do the same?
- I was very satisfied with my exchange at ITU. And would highly recommend future students to apply for an exchange at the university.

Was it difficult to get the courses you wanted at the host university?
- Yes and no. The university has an add and drop period at the beginning of the term. However, the only way one could get a hold of the module outline was by attending the first lecture. This works for some, but I personally would have enjoyed a less frantic add and drop week so I could manage my add and drops accordingly based on the outlines.
Some courses would also only run depending if the number of signup students was high enough and every class was in English although assigned as.
Overall it was more of a learning experience on how to be proactive in choosing with limited time and information. In the end I was pleased with my selections.
Are you satisfied with the academic quality at the host university?
- Yes, I had some very good classes where intellectual thinking and contesting was highly appreciated, which I personally enjoy. A lot of good debates and teaching methods were provided which gave academic quality and stimulation.
How beneficial was the Erasmus grant?
- It helped, of course. And it's a good grant to have as a financial support for a short term stay.
Did you obtain what you wanted by going on exchange?
- Yes, I'm happy with the overall semester and the classes I was enrolled in. My lectures were brilliant. Most of my classes were small so one could really get into how teaching and learning practices are.
I would suggest that when applying for an exchange a term is just about enough to feel settled, but would recommend doing a year to get the full experience.

Et utvekslingsopphold kan gi deg høyt faglig utbytte og ny og beriket faglig innsikt, men også muligheter til å knytte vennskap og nettverk på tvers av landegrenser. Å studere og leve i et annet land tilbyr en unik mulighet til å se verden fra et nytt perspektiv, samtidig som det er en gylden mulighet til å bli flytende i et fremmedspråk.
