Norwegian students enjoy a great deal of freedom in their studies. The emphasis on independent study and individual planning does, however, put a responsibility on each student to organise and plan their days. The libraries can offer extensive literature services, and the staff will always be happy to assist you. The Norwegian laws concerning drug abuse are very strict. Both import, possession and use of narcotics, including hashish, marihuana and ecstasy, are illegal.
Drug dealing carries a heavy prison sentence.
