Studying, living, eating, traveling, playing and just relaxing with all the amazing people there who I am lucky to call my International and Norwegian families was one fantastic journey for the whole life. Can I repeat my Agder year over again?

NLC was definitely the best year of my life. Why? Because we approached the purity of something beautiful.To be foreigners all together discovering a country and a culture is great. Very hard to leave, but memories and the experience are here forever

Do you want to make international friends and learn about Norway? Travels with northern lights, activities like snowball fight and Norwegian classes has given me the most beautiful memories of my life. NLC at Agder will give you more than you expect.

I jumped into the cold water with this year. It was a rollercoaster. The year was chill and demanding. Predictable and surprising. And 100% worth it. I am really glad to have had a year at Agder as part of my life
