The Canadian student Shawn Jantzen thought he came to a sleepy little town, but he was wrong. Read his story from his semester
as an exchange student in Alta at Finnmark University College.
Some of the highlights he mentioned were the classroom milieu: "My classes consisted of Natural Resource Management, Regional Economics, and my personal favourite Winter Outdoor Life Activities. These classes have a relaxed atmosphere and the students are very involved in the discussions and class activities".

| My name is Nikolai Tarkaev, I'm from Yakutsk, the capital of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) - one of the Russian Federation's subjects. If you look at the map you will find my native town at the North-Eastern part of Russia. I have chosen the Finnmark University College for my study because I'm really interesting in Arctic regions destiny in developing world, and I think that the best way to research a problem is to go to the North! The international program I studied here provided the following subjects: Destination development, International marketing, Autumn outdoor life activities, and Norwegian history and culture. All was very interesting, and I'm sure that knowledge I've got here will be useful for my future studies.What about social life, I had not any time to be tormented by idleness at all! Theme evenings for international students, trips and excursions made us fun and helped us do pass an adaptetion process. |

Aleksandra Tyurina. Home country: Russia.
I studied here several subjects:
- International Marketing;
- Destination Development
- History and Culture of Norway
- Autumn Outdoor Life activities
Also I visited lessons still of the Norwegian language and tried to learn norwegian language. It was not too easy. :-) What I can say about it. It was great. I was interested in all subjects, we went on trips, we have been on Svalbard. I have never been there. It was wonderful. Also it was interesting to me to learn about history and culture of Norway, and as I studying in Russia at economic faculty, it was usefull to me to learn International Marketing.
About social life. I want to say thanks to all, who helped me in studing here! I was very glad to meet you all!!!!! :-) And I will be very glad to return to Alta. :-)
