#4 BI Norwegian Business School Campus
a Campus to Remember
This is only week two, but it feels like I have been here for a longer time, than just two weeks.
In the little time I've been here, I have met so many different people, seen so many interesting things and unknown places, and have adjusted to a totally new lifestyle that it simply feels as if it must have been more than just two weeks - Oh well.
Talking about interesting and unknown places, one very intriguing place is my university campus. Like many of you already know, I study at the HSBA, in the central district of Hamburg. With a great location like that naturally comes the lack of space available to the university and therefore, to us students. What sometimes feels like standing on each others toes in the four floors of a big building behind the town hall, isn't that bad in reality. But compared to the campus we have been presented here in Oslo, those four floors seem like the tiniest space with the tiniest classrooms and common rooms that I will ever find myself in.
Interesting fact: The BI campus was specifically build with various staircases and lifts, in order to prevent any bottlenecks or jams. Students and staff can move around the different floors freely. Let's just say, the saying "all roads lead to Rome" is definitely true for this university!
When Jonas, Clemens, Max and I first entered the building on Sunday night after we arrived, we were in awe. While walking around the different corridors and floors, our main questions were:
1. With so many seating areas, tables and nooks available, how would we ever decide on where to sit?
2. Where are all the classrooms for the approx. 10.000 students studying at this university?
The answer to the first question has not been answered to this day. However, an explanation for the second question was quickly found when we had our first lecture. The classrooms (ranging in size) are hidden in yet smaller corridors leading off from the main middle part of the building. Each classroom or auditorium has at least two to three beamers (depending on its size) and is equipped with (working) WIFI and power sockets. Also, professors and lecturers wear microphones, because otherwise you would simply not understand them, due to the size of the rooms and the amount of people in it.
See you next time!
