When purchasing something - remember to check if you can get a student discount!
Remember to check if you can get a student discount!
At SSN and all other student welfare organisations in Norway, you will of course receive student prices for services. Check out the visiting arrangment among the Norwegian student welfare organisations.
You should also make it a habit to check if you can get a student discount every time you enter into an agreement or buy a product or service.
🤑 A hot tip is to check whether the host municipality (i.e. the municipality you're studying in) has a campaign to encourage students to register their move to the municipality. Many municipalities pay out a sum or give gift cards to students who report a move!

A variety of good student discounts:
Contact the public dental health service for information about your right to reduced-cost dental treatment, or visit helsenorge.no for more information about what is covered by the public healthcare system.
Norway only subsidises glasses for children under the age of 18. If you have an eye disease or condition that is not common and can be documented, you can apply to NAV for support for glasses or lenses. Talk to your optician if this applies to you.
Otherwise, most opticians offer a student discount. Large chains such as Synsam and Brilleland have fixed discounts, but ask your optician for a discount - because glasses and contact lenses are expensive, so there is money to be saved here!
There are several operators who have taken on the job of collecting student discounts:
Check out the Student Card - which has collected student discounts in over 180 stores!
