You live, sleep and eat at the folk high school. Rooms are normally shared, and while some have their own bathroom, it is most common to have a shared bathroom in the hallway. Some schools have a kitchen you can use.
We believe that living with your fellow students, creates an outstanding learning environment. By sharing accommodations with people who are different from you, you learn to work together and handle problems. You also get to know your fellow students in a completely different way when you are with them around the clock.
Folk high schools are not just about academics and subjects. Student life also plays a big part in the folk high school calendar. The school organises student events, ice-breaker trips and other social activities.
You are free to use the school’s common rooms, classrooms and equipment after school. There is always something to do, and always someone with whom to do them. You can opt for a spur-of-the moment evening outing, play a volleyball game or a board game, watch a film, go to a birthday party in the dormitory common room, or simply cosy up with a cup of coffee, chatting or discussing things until well after supper.
Most schools also offer organised activities in the evenings, such as choir, football training, evening meetings, discussion groups or short courses in various fields.
