Cost of living in Norway

education price - free to study in colleges and University, but to buy books is pretty expensive. it will cost approx 2000-3000 kr per year.

public transportation - area around Oslo 22-26 kr for a buss

health prices - well, it is not really included in taxes. you have to pay for each visit to your doctor. Approx 130-170 kr for a visit. even if this is just for some minutes.

Ulsteinvik, Norwa
> accommodation prices (how much does it cost to rent or to buy an accommodation in Norway?) We live in a one bedroom furnished basement apartment for 6500 NOK monthly
> public transportation fares (tube, bus etc ...) steep. A flybussen for 30 minutes will cost you about 100 NOK, the ferries are cheaper if you have a multiple use pass, but still about 100-300 NOK a kick
> food prices(per month, how much does it cost you?) Eating at home, cooking cheaply, we spend 4000 NOK for two people on food and household stuff
> health prices (for those who need medical insurance) We have workpermits, so technically we are covered but you still pay 200 NOK everytime you visit. I had a filling replaced at the dentist and it cost about about 1500 NOK

> eduction prices (if you need to pay) we work

> energy prices (oil, electricity) depends on the season, and rates vary, but we spend about 500 NOK a month for a modern one bedroom

> common bills (Internet, television, telephone, mobile phone) tv and internet included in our apartment, no idea

> prices of a good menu in a traditional restaurant - main course would be cheap if it was less than 100 nok, more likely between 200 and 500 nok. Eating out is not common in our area, so it's a luxury

> prices of a beer or a coffee in a regular pub coffee ranges from 10 to 50 nok, beer from 50 to 100 nok

New international students often complain about the high prices of goods and services in Norway. Norway is an expensive country and it takes a while getting used to the high cost of living. You will need a minimum of approximately NOK 8 500 per month in order to cover basic expenses. During your first semester, you must be prepared to use a substantial amount of money for setting up your household and for buying suitable clothing for the Norwegian climate.
