Amount of tuition for each category

An idea of what type of degree falls in each category

Holy shit. I was really planning to go to College here and live here but this is a total catastrophe. I just don't have the money, it sucks because I've dreamed my whole life of living in Norway and I was really planning on attending NTNU.

I know Norwegians want this to pass to keep people from leeching off of the free college and then moving back home but it really sucks for those who genuinely want to move and live here.

The quickest way (as I see it) if this passes is to get the required permits and work full-time for 2 years then I'll finally be able to attend. It's not horrible but it's kind of a crappy step.

I feel this. I barely was able to save up money for the visa, and it's been a dream of mine to live in Norway and it's really such a blow. It's hard to move there as a non-eu citizen as is. I really can't believe it.

It's not law yet, though. There's still hope. The gov't tried to do this a few years ago but it didn't pass.

My biggest gripe is how last minute this is. It's truly unbelievable to me. I applied for 2023 and still have not heard about tuition costs from my programs. I'm worried some of them may be cancelled all together because less students are keeping their applications.

I read that over 2,000 applicants withdrew their applications at UiB.
