3. Apply for housing
USN guarantees housing for all international students as long as applications for housing are received before the application deadline for each semester. We will notify you about any changes in the housing requirements long before the deadline. (Please note that campus Kongsberg is currently excepted from this guarantee, due to the lack of, and thus development of new, student housing until autumn 2019).
Please note: If you fail to apply before the deadline (April 15 and October 15) – your pre-booking might be cancelled and you might have to arrange private accommodation.
