日本の大学院のように、
ホームページから、合格発表のページに行き、受験番号を探し・・・
なーんてプロセスは一切なく、
予定外の時期に来たメールで
突然合格を知らされるという、なんともドキドキしないシステム。
メール本文を開くまでもなく
すでに
Congratulation! と見えちゃっていました。
しかし、どの学科に受かったかは、ポータルにログインしないと
わからないという
謎の出し惜しみ感。
ツンデレオスロ大学。
オスロ大学院ではこんなに素敵な仲間たちに出会えて
最高の学習環境で学べるし、
オスロって素敵な街だからぜひ来てね！
と低姿勢。
なのに、滞在許可（ビザのようなもの）の申請は
as soon as possible と
脅してきます。
なんだかいじらしくて可愛い♥
いってやろうじゃないかオスロ大学！
