New students from abroad are welcome to join the new UiS Student Guide Week, or "Fadder 2011" as it is called in Norwegian.

Fadder 2011 is a welcoming week which is held every year in August, where new students are split into Fadder groups lead by 2nd and 3rd year students. These students show the new arrivals around on campus and participate with them in events during the week. The Student Guide Week (Fadderuken) is held after the Orientation Week: 15th to the 20th of August.
