Accommodation..

After being accepted at NTNU, I had to compile the accommodation form.

I asked for a shared flat with other 3 guys from the 27 December till ... [ when I will come back.. if I will! ] , but SiT replayed me that they could give me the room only from 29 December, because they are on Christmas holiday till Sunday 28.

SO

29-27 = 2 night without a roof GREAT !!!!!!!

I had three options:

1) Look for an hotel

2) Post a request on ISU members mailing list

3) Search for a COUCH

I decided to search for a couch and I was amazed to see that about 200 people are sharing their couches.


After few days I got an AFFIRMATIVE response from a Norwegian girl, who could be available to host me in her house =) REALLY THANKS Ragnhild & Ranveig !!!

[Norwegian people look like very nice, hospitable and easy going]


Here are some pics of dorms at NTNU, probably I'll go to Berg even if it will be demolished in August, but it's closed to University.
