Even Angelo Aarek

I had an amazing year at StUF, combining the Retake Subjects program with Programming. I really appreciated the structure, the welcoming community, and the fun electives. I learned so much and finished the year feeling like a better version of myself

Håvard Wiig

When I started, I was a complete beginner. During the course, I learned a great deal and had an amazing time. I received excellent guidance and always felt welcome in the class. Being able to sew and repair clothes is an incredibly useful skill!

Lyric Bay

The best part of the program was its variety and the creative freedom to choose my own projects. I also loved the strong sense of community. We worked closely together, supporting and helping each other throughout the year.

Carla Røhnebæk-Rydjord

The best part of the program is the strong bond we build by facing challenges together, supporting one another, and growing stronger as a team. We surf some of Norway's most beautiful beaches and experience things I never would have done otherwise.

Jenny Nupen

I really enjoyed attending StUF while retaking subjects. I got to experience everything that's great about folk high school while receiving the support and guidance I needed to achieve my goals. It was the perfect gap year before university!

Elizabeth Shannon

I always wanted the opportunity to travel and learn another language. Norwegian Language & Culture allowed me to immerse myself in a new culture and meet people from all over the world!
