ISU-list – Studentorganisasjonen ved Universitetet i Stavanger

ISU List

ISU List is focusing on solving the problems that international students face during the year and before they come to university. The problems we focus on in our list have been designed to facilitate the experience of all students as well as international students. In order to increase the learning experience and benefit more, we give priority to issues such as increasing the book options in the library, reintroducing the B1 and B2 levels of Norwegian courses, having English explanations in UIS social media, and publications. Apart from these, our other demands are increasing halal food options in the cafeteria, easier access to the computers and laboratories in the school, and creating an international student lounge to make the students socialize. Another aim is to inform international students about the campus, city, and facilities before the education process starts, and to help them integrate better into the system.
