Student life in Vestfold
We have asked some students what they think about studying in Vestfold:
«Super social. That might be the best word I have to describe our campus.»
Albert Asmervik
«The best part of university life is meeting new people, attending parties, and having easy access to different sports.»
Tor Olsen
«Because it's a somewhat smaller university, it has been much easier to get to know people. On campus, you feel seen by both lecturers and fellow students.»
Elizabeth Myhre Waaler

Car and parking
There is about 1400 parking spaces on Campus. Park only on marked spots. Be aware that incorrectly parked cars will be towed away at the owner's expense. If there are no available spots, please look for one at the nearby Science Park.
There are separate spaces for electric vehicles: ten spots south of the main building, eight spots in the car park behind the main building and six spots at the Science Park. Because of low capacity there has been introduced a maximum time of four hours for charging electric vehicles. We strongly urge all students, staff and visitors to respect this. You have to pay to charge.
We do not allow overnight stays in car parks, green areas or in the university's buildings.
