HiBu was a very welcoming environment for me.
From being set up with another student (who
became one of my dearest friends) to being able
to have a very relaxed yet challenging education
environment, to becoming friends with so many
great people through school, HiBU was definitely
the perfect fit for me.
I will continue to say that Norway was probably
one of the best things that ever happened to me
and my experience was honestly, life-changing.
So whether life brings me back to Norway to live
or if Norway becomes my forever vacation
destination, it will always hold a special place
in my heart, my adventure of a lifetime. Norway
truly captured a part of me.
