Former students tell
For me, the year in Lofoten was well worth the long flight home. I really enjoyed myself there; the social environment is something in itself and the fact that everyone you meet is interested in outdoor activities makes it very easy to make friends. In addition to this, the teachers are incredibly skilled and engaged, and that really makes a difference in how the trips and planning go; everything we did together was fun no matter the weather.
So of course I have to mention the area the school is located in, which is absolutely incredible beautiful. It is a completely special feeling to walk up to a mountain peak and see the sea, the mainland and countless other mountain peaks all around you. Lofoten was a completely amazing year for me and if I were to attend a folk high school again I would choose Lofoten.
You learn a lot by moving away from home, at least I did. Everything from washing clothes to figuring out how many times you can go on the mix in Kabelvåg without going broke. You learn at least how to be self-sufficient, which has been very beneficial to me lately. On the line (Climbing & Top Hiking) I learned a lot of new things even though I had been climbing for 4 years; this says a lot about the knowledge level of the teachers at the school.
Overall, I don't regret the choice I made after high school; I needed time to figure out what I wanted to study, but I figured it out during the year.
Misses Lofoten dearly and constantly
