NTNU

## Education

### Registration

* Register for courses on Studentweb before the start of the semester and until the 15th of September you can change courses
* Get access to Blackboard for course information (it is really useful to download the app to get the notifications)
* Order your student card on https://i.ntnu.no/studentkort (you need it to access the university in the weekends and print up to 500 copies. Do not lose it, if not you need to pay 150 nok)
* Pick up your student card at the Central Building 2, 2nd floor, Gløshaugen (if you get lost, use the app Mazemap to find the place)
* Download the app Studentbevis to have your student card always on your phone ( the bus inspector just accepts this as proof of being student)
* International House at Gløshaugen can help you with any paper related to the Erasmus + exchange.

### Lecture style

The classes are usually divided in 45 minutes with 15 minutes of break in-between. Depends on the course but the majority of the courses have 2-3 hours lectures twice a week and they start quarter past the hour.

### Assignments

It is mandatory to pass 75% of the assignments to qualify for exam, for example, if the course has 12 assignments, you need to pass 9 of them. Usually study assistants are nice and can give you an extension to submit or let you redo it if you did not pass. Some courses repeat the old assignments and you can ask to get access to the Drive called Marinehjelp.

### Exams

Exams are usually closed book, if you are registered for the course, then you are automatically registered for the exam. Resits are just in summer around mid-August.

### Places to study

* Moholt library (you can also ask to loan tools here and watch movies arranged by Sit Loftet)
* U1 at Realfagbygget
* You can ask to get an office to Kristin Mørkve and Halsten Aastebøl (try to ask with a list of all your fellow students to get sorted together)
* SIT has some study places and canteens around campus and in the city center (Drivhuset)

### Other things to know

* SIT has counselling, stress and time management courses and a nurse in campus
* Bridge NTNU can check you CV and help you practice for interviews
* MAKE NTNU has sowing machines and 3D printers that can be used without a cost at any time
* SIT trening has several gyms around the city and now you can pay per month 250 nok or the complete semester for 1100 nok (which includes the NTNUI membership which is useful to try some sports as Quidditch). There is also an option of a yearly membership paying 175 nok per month

## Accommodations

### Accommodation office for students (SIT)

* Most international students end up in Moholt or Steinan Studentby.
	+ Moholt is really close to Tyholt where the Marine faculty is
	+ Steinan is cool like little houses and really near Estenstadmarka which is a good place for runs, swims, and skiing. But it is a little further to school and town, not many busses pass either.
	+ Rosenborg studentby is a bit more expensive but has the kitchen fully equipped, elevator, free laundry, a nice terrace to see northern lights and the sunset, and last but not least, it's 8 blocks away from the city center.
