The purpose of the Buddy Programme is to assist international students in Trondheim with integration in the Norwegian student life. The local buddy gets the opportunity to practice a foreign language, get acquainted with different cultures and get involved in the international community in Trondheim. You can read more about it here
Yes, everyone can sign up to the buddy program
We have a lot more international students than Norwegian students in the programme but we try to assign buddies throughout the semester as soon as one is available.
Unfortunately we are not in the position to help you find an accommodation, but you can get some help from NTNUs website.
If you are looking for general information on being an exchange student at NTNU (such as admission criteria, study plans, etc.), please contact NTNU's international office.
