Huh, I never knew this. Thank you for the info!
Americans in general are pretty against living abroad. I had a professor refuse to give me a letter of rec to do my PhD at NTNU because I needed to stay in the US to "fight the good fight and educate morons" (he's a Zionist too)
Another American here in Trondheim had his father cut contact with him because he moved abroad. He barely speaks with his mom because his dad is controlling in the relationship.
ERASMUS, despite it's reputation (I live with two of them and they party hard), is a great program that helps make a more international commitunity.
It's honestly lonely but I'm glad I'm here. Everyone is incredibly nice and welcoming here.
