Student services
As an AHO student, you are a member of The Foundation for Student Life in Oslo and Akershus (SiO) after your semester fee is paid.
Housing services
All students admitted to AHO are eligible for accommodation through The Foundation for Student life in Oslo (SIO). You apply by completing the online application form on the SiO website. When asked for your Norwegian ID-number, you may enter your date of birth.
It is advisable to apply as soon as possible after being admitted to AHO.
International students are prioritized for SiO housing. However, remember to set up a number of alternatives for accommodation. Due to high demand in student housing in Oslo, there is no guarantee that you will get your first priority.

The library has access to several resources:
- Article databases: databases that analyse content in periodicals and books.
- Subject resources: patent, materials, standards and more.
- Research databases: dissertations and theses

Student Life
Campus life
As an AHO student, you are a member of The Foundation for Student Life in Oslo and Akershus (SiO) after your semester fee is paid.
The semester fee entitles you to make use of more than 7500 student lodgings and apartments, Norway's largest student bookshop, fitness centres, cafes and café-bars, cabins, health services specially for students, free student counselling, free career guidance and inexpensive kindergarten.
The services are either free or offered at a student-friendly price.
Student clubs
For many of us the school becomes a home. Through SAHO you can influence how the school runs.
It is important that all students are aware of what SAHO is, what we do and what we can contribute with. You have to choose yourself how your studies will be. SAHO is based on student involvement and all members are elected by the rest of the student mass.
As an international student, you can represent all foreign students at AHO, both exchange students and those who wish to do their MA and Diploma here.
