  • The commute from R?nningen to Blindern campus takes approximately 30 minutes.
  • An Oslo travel card is included in the ISS housing price.

  • Blindern campus is easily accessible by public transportation. It is easy to get to the ISS classes with the public transportation: There is a direct bus line from Grefsen stadion to Blindern campus. There are also other travel options: tram/bus + metro from Storo.
  • ISS offers the Oslo travel card to the students who choose the ISS housing at R?nningen. If any student cannot travel by the public transportation, he/she needs to find an alternative transportation himself/herself.
