Welcome to the Student Congregation!
"Are YOU an International Student in Bergen? Read this!
Multiple members of the student congregation have experienced first-hand the joys and challenges that comes with being an international student, and also how great it can be to be welcomed into a friendly congregation of locals, especially when studying far away from home. Now we are waiting to return the favour! Do stop by and see us, we'll be happy to help you find your way around beautiful Bergen!"
