American College of Norway

I studied abroad at ACN for one academic year and overall had a great experience. The staff was always trying their best to help me from getting a visa to moving in to figuring out my next steps after ACN. Since it is a small college, I got to know everyone really fast which helped me feel connected even when living abroad. It's easy to get to Oslo and the airport from Moss which made traveling very easy. Studying abroad helped me grow as a person and helped me make so many connections. I would recommend ACN to students who want to travel and student simultaneously!

The American College of Norway has excellent partner programs with schools in America and in Norway. I studied abroad with a partner program from the University of North Dakota, and it is easily the best program UND offers. I was paying in-state tuition and receiving financial aid from the state of North Dakota, and all my credits transfer directly back home so there's no need for grade calculation or transcript reports.

Norway is a beautiful place to go, and Moss is an excellent home base! It's easy to get anywhere in Europe from Moss, and I travelled all over the place in my time at ACN. You get Fridays off at ACN, and three day weekends every week make it very easy to go anywhere you want.

It was a fun and new experience. The thing that struck me the most was the people at ACN. Everyone was approachable and kind. It helped also that it is just a small campus, so it was more easy to get in touch with everyone, students and staffs. The academics taught are mostly general courses that help when you transfer to other universities, especially if you plan to study in the US. They also have no Friday classes which makes your weekend longer and have more time for your own thing, like travel and exploring. Over all ACN was a great experience with great people.

I came to ACN to transfer to BI. I really enjoyed the welcome week and the fun activities. Most of all, I made friends who are also going to BI. I am really glad I decided to go to ACN. The academics prepare you for the next year and keeps you engaged. The professors are helpful and create a safe study environment for the students. There are also a lot of hands on projects and activities. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a year to figure things out, needs a study abroad year or just wants to transfer to a different university.

My favorite thing about this school was the academics. For one, education is very inexpensive, yet you get private school quality education from credible professors that care about your success. The classes are geared towards first-year students looking to take explorative courses.
In terms of social life, that is completely up to you. If you are willing to go out and meet people and do things, of course, you will have a good experience. If you stay locked in your room all day, are unwilling to meet new people, and go out and explore, of course, you will have a mediocre social experience. Just take initiative and you will have an amazing time.
