International Summer Programme

Accommodation

Accommodation

BI collaborates with two housing providers for Summer School students: BSN Dormitory and SiO Student Housing. Options and pricing for Summer 2026 will be finalized and communicated by Spring 2026.

We highly recommend international students choose either BSN or SiO, as private accommodation in Oslo is generally more expensive.

BSN Dormitory

BSN offers modern, comfortable accommodations exclusively for BI students. All rooms are fully furnished, including bed linen, and kitchens are stocked with basic essentials.

  • Apartment type: Summer Programme students typically stay in two-bedroom apartments, with a private bedroom and a shared kitchen and bathroom with one other student.
  • Housing fees (2026): NOK 8,250 for the period 19 June – 17 July 2026.

 

Facilities at BSN include:

  • Washing and drying machines
  • Internet access
  • Basic kitchenware: knives, cutlery, plates, glasses, pots, and pans are usually left by former residents. Missing items can be purchased affordably in Oslo.
  • Rooftop terrace: Offers panoramic views of Oslo, including the Oslofjord, Nesodden, Bunnefjorden, Oslo Plaza, Holmenkollen, and more.
  • Squash hall: Open daily from 07:00–23:00.
  • Gym: Open daily from 07:00–23:00.

For more information, visit BSN’s website.

 

SiO Student Housing

Information on SiO student housing options will be shared by Spring 2026.

 

Applying for Housing

After admission, students will receive a newsletter with a link to the housing application and payment form.

  • Payment deadline: May 15, 2026
  • Cancellation policy: Cancellations are subject to a 25% fee. After 1 June 2026, fees are non-refundable.

Securing accommodation early is recommended to ensure a smooth start to the Summer Programme.
