The student hall – a thriving atmosphere

The student hall is the big, open hall with a stage, reading and eating spots and large windows facing the square between P52 and P50. Here you can read, study in groups and participate in both small and big events throughout the academic year.

The student hall is a multi-purpose venue for events and activities in addition to being one of the most attractive study and lunch areas on campus. You can expect a lively atmosphere throughout the academic year.

If you are easily disturbed by noise, you will find a quiet reading room in the same building. There are also reading rooms in other buildings that are available to all OsloMet’s students. If you would like to know whether something is taking place in the student hall before you find a spot and settle down, you can have a look at this overview or ask at the Student Centre.
