Get rid of your winter blues and start planning for a once-in-a-lifetime summer studying abroad in Norway at the American College of Norway (ACN)! Trust us, you won’t regret it! “The American College of Norway offered me so much more than a study abroad experience. The faculty and staff are some of the nicest people I have ever met, the course load isn’t overbearing, and the apartments are super cute. Moss is also a friendly and inviting city with lots to do. There are great hiking trails, the beach and the Oslo Fjord, plus there are great restaurants and cafes. Additionally, Oslo is only a 40 minute train ride away, so there is always something to do.” -Lexy Zimmerman, ACN Summer School Student 2018
