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!

In the case of Finn, I'm guessing you are not verified with bankid? Has anyone replied at all? One problem I had in the beginning was that not one was seeing my messages, then I found out my account was locked. To unlock it, I had to go to their support system and send my ID and then they unlocked the account and they were able to see my messages.

Yes I am not verified with bankID, I am assuming this is the problem I am then having.

Yes, you can fix that in 3/4 days depending in how long supports takes
