Fantoft studentby, Student residence in Bergen, Norway
Description
Fantoft studentby is a student housing complex in Bergen made up of several reinforced concrete buildings arranged around shared community spaces. Each unit contains single rooms with private bathrooms, and groups of up to eight residents share a kitchen and common areas for socializing.
History
The complex first opened in 1972 as part of student welfare services for the University of Bergen. Its concrete construction reflects the building style and housing priorities of that decade.
Culture
Residents from different countries live side by side and share daily life in common spaces and corridors. This mix of backgrounds makes it easy to pick up new languages and build connections across cultures.
Practical
The location is easily reached by public transport and sits close to shops and dining options in the area. Winter weather can make outdoor paths slippery, so appropriate footwear and clothing are important if you plan to explore the grounds.
