College

My college application was accepted and I'm starting at a University College this July. After three years, I'm confident I'll get my bachelor degree as an IT engineer. I can't wait.
And I just got my drivers license, after spending lots of money on driving lessons, and lots of hard work.
I'll see how my schedule works out when I start college, and hopefully I'll be able to give you guys some regular posts.

Yes it was. I had no one to practice driving with. And Norwegian traffic education is quite comprehensive. I had to pay for everything, which was quite expensive considering how I had to take extra driving lessons, and learn everything my self. It took one and a half year for me. And I had to squeeze everything in between my busy schedule on a job which didn't leave me with much energy for other things.
My college is HiG, as I live in the inland in Norway.

I'm sure you'll do great. Thought of any focus for the degree, or is it pre-selected?

But each university college has its own different way of handling this, I suppose.

It's got very much in common with the computer science bachelor degree you can take there, but there are more programming and computer topics and less maths, physics and chemistry.

Now the tougher task than getting your Driver's License.
Getting a car to go with that license.
Especially since, isn't Norway supposed to be super expensive for getting anything vs. the rest of Europe?

But you're not right about the cars. Used cars can be aquired from $478 and up, and a common monthly wage for a low paying job is $1 915. You won't even have to save up money to buy a used car. Although such a car would probably break down after a few months though.

It IS likely to be a Money Pit as soon as you get it.
It'll turn into a problem of the month or even problem of the week nightmare.
I remember back many years when my old 74 Chevy Van was on its last legs.
I was such a frequent customer at this particular Firestone Shop that even the Mechanics joked like, "Uh Oh! What is it this time?" Or, "Man, you should be given a Frequent Customer Discount Card."

So, you're saying YOU have Mr. Goodwrench prowess? You'll certainly save on labor.
As for the usage of used parts? I guess it'll depend on the part and its condition.
But, sure, go for it, DrLaunch. Whatever works for you.
