academic exchange progamme

Hello, everyone

I'm from Portugal and it's almost certain I am going to study in norway, next year, near Oslo. (erasmus) I am already taking care of everthing, with my university international departmeent.
I always wanted to live in northern europe or at least to experience that feeling, so I thought this exhange agreement would be the best way. I am going alone (all my colleagues haven chosen another destinations (warm destinations and stuff:p), so I am kind of scared, because this is becoming real. I have some questions, like everyone else!
I'd like to know if it is true that norwegians don'y pay much attention to erasmus students  or foreign people in general, because I think the funny about living in another culture is to share and learn new things with the place you re living.
Another thing I would like to know if there is anyone in this forum planning to study in 2011-2012 in Oslo or Akershus I am trying to find foruns for students in norway, but I can't find anything.

Thank you and nice to meet you all!

Ana
