This week is a dual freebie, offering the world's first free, accredited online university: "University of the People" and a freebies we are proud to offer on our first Mr. Frugal Life "Freebie Friday": Free Tuition at All Norwegian Universities whether or not you are a Norwegian citizen:

The majority of Norwegian institutions of higher education are publicly funded. And the Norwegian government considers access to higher education for all to be an important part of the Norwegian society. Thus, there are normally no tuition fees at state universities and university colleges in Norway. This also applies to foreign students, no matter which country you come from.



Certain fees are required, but these fees also come with benefits such as health care, discounts on public transportation, and much more. Also certain fees are required for particular programs, mostly at the master's level. Most classes are taught in English, making the transition as smooth as possible.

Best Norwegian Universities to Enjoy Free Tuition And Norwegian Lifestyle

According to the United Nations (UN), Norway enjoys the highest standard of living of any country. A small country with only 4.9 million people, the winters are severe due to the proximity to the arctic circle, and the summers are warm.

Some of the best universities to enjoy Norway's free tuition are:
Free tuition at a Norwegian university would be great for someone about to graduate high school, a returning student, or a retiree looking to stay active with a bit of traveling and learning. Mr. Frugal Life wishes you the best on your Norwegian adventure, and please post in the comments if you go to Norway because of this post.
