 For me, the summer school provided me with the opportunity to spend my summer doing something relevant and instructive. I got a head start on the final year of my master's degree and I got to meet some great and smart new people. I really enjoyed all aspects of the programme. I really enjoyed the academic quality which was great and the lecturers were great and we had really good community going amongst the students. I had a good time and I felt like I got a lot out of it academically and professionally. After finishing my master's studies, I started working for the chief county executive. The summer school gave me a basis I have found to be useful. I would recommend the summer school to anyone in a similar position as myself. Who wants to spend their summer doing something relevant or who wants to get a head start on their master's degree. The European integration summer school was useful because I believe that the process of European integration affects us all. I mean, if you want to learn about the EU, this is the place to go. And of course, there's no tuition fees in Norway so you can't say no to that, can you?
