New international students can apply for student housing through Sammen, Bergen's student welfare organisation, subject to the relevant eligibility and deadlines. Availability, rent, contract terms and location vary, so applicants should apply early and keep a private shared-housing alternative; non-EU applicants must also document adequate housing for the study-permit process.

Bergen has supermarkets, international grocery shops and varied restaurants, while Sammen provides student welfare and food-related services. Students with allergies, religious requirements or other dietary needs should check current menus, ingredients, opening hours and accommodation cooking facilities rather than assume a specific cuisine or certification.

UiB's city-centre campuses are rooted in the Nygårdshøyden area and connected to libraries, museums, laboratories, lecture spaces and student services. The university reports around 21,000 students, seven faculties and more than 50 research centres, with marine, climate, global-challenges and digitalisation research shaping the academic environment.

UiB and Sammen provide student welfare, health and support channels, and Norway's emergency numbers are 112 for police, 113 for medical emergencies and 110 for fire. Students should save current UiB, Sammen and local emergency contacts and follow official arrival, travel and out-of-hours guidance. UiB's International Centre and faculties provide admissions, arrival and study guidance, while Sammen provides housing, health, counselling, welfare, sports and student-life services. Non-EU/EEA applicants must coordinate tuition, living-funds evidence, housing, UDI residence-permit steps and original-document verification before enrolment is finalised.
