Orientation week activities
Erasmus Student Network (ESN)
is a voluntary non-profit student organisation for the international students at the University of Agder.
We arrange trips, parties and other social gatherings during the semester. During orientation week, we offer events so that you get to know each other, the campus and the city.
When you're accepted at UiA, you will be put in a "Buddy group" consisting of other international students, as well as both Norwegian and international buddies. The buddies will be there to help you out during your stay in Norway.
Check out our page on Facebook:
