Starting a trimester at the University of Bergen

By Madiha Ali Changezi

Kia Ora and assalamalaikum, 

My name is Madiha Ali Changezi and I am doing a double major in Law (Hons) and Political  Science. Although I have travelled overseas alone previously, I have never lived abroad away from my family. The reasons I wanted to have a global experience was to emerge myself in a totally different culture/environment, push myself out of my comfort zone and also broaden my knowledge of a different legal system. I chose Norway as my destination because being on the other side of the world away from my family is a massive leap out of my comfort zone. Also, Norway has always been on my bucket list of countries that I wanted to visit so this was the perfect opportunity and I didn’t hesitate to grab it 🙂
