Hi, Lucky,
do you have any friend or family? If not then its too much costly all things 30% more than London. Apartment 8000, Food 2000, Transport 1000 and other extra expenses 2000 for 1 month.
Good luck.
Another option
You can live far from city with railway or bus facility around 1 hour to oslo apartment cost 4000 but transportation cost 2500 all other expenses same but food cost can be less by 20% if buy in sweden(border)
