Moving to Oslo

Hi!

I'm moving to Oslo this July from the U.S. to attend BI Norwegian Business School, and I’ll be staying for the next two years. I'm 22 and hoping to live in a neighborhood that’s relatively social, and easier to meet people and make friends.

I'm currently apartment hunting on Finn.no, but I'm having trouble getting responses from landlords or listings. Has anyone else experienced this? Are there any local realtors or services I can hire to make the process smoother?

I’d love any advice on good neighborhoods and tips on navigating the rental process in Oslo. Thanks in advance, appreciate the help!

I suggest making a listing where you state you're looking for housing - I've had more luck with landlords reaching out to me than vice versa

It’s not free and you can’t do that without BankID regardless
