Jump On In!

This program helped to carve out my passions and love for new experiences and foreign territory, both personal and academic. Through external and internal research, I was able to discover my strengths, weaknesses, and gain a better understanding of what I would like to achieve in the remainder of my time in college and beyond.
My fondest memory of The New Norway program was one of the first weeks we were settled. The six of us were still a little uncomfortable with each other, so in the interest of getting to know each other better, we decided to take advantage of the fading summer weather and go to Sognsvann to play in the lake. The water was so cold but we all jumped in and swam out to the floating dock where we sat and chatted with each other for hours. Once swimming back and drying off, we decided to have a meal together to continue our bonding. After this day we became a close-knit family that could always count on each other.
I could not recommend this program highly enough to anyone who's interested. It's truly a life-changing experience.
