Project Summary

For my edge project I wanted to

compare psychology education in
Norway and the United state, but also
see how the culture differ. I went to
Norway for the summer where I talked
to student, and people who had taken
psychology courses. I also had to do
some research on my own about the
education in Norway and the United
States.
Project Highlights
From this project I learned about the
two different educations systems, so I
can now give advice to Norwegian
students wanting to study psychology
in Norway or Americans who want to
study in Norway. It also made me
about their culture.
While I was in Norway I got to
celebrate their national day, which is
17th of May. Everybody put their
national clothing on and met on the
street where they were singing.
Going to Norway allowed me to meet
new people, and make me aware of
the cultural differences between
Norway and the United States.

One of the places I visited was Grimstad, Norway
clothes. We went to the city where it
was packed with people. The roads
were closed and everybody was
wearing their national clothes, showing
their pride to the country. The were
bands from all the different schools that
people walked after and sang the
national songs. We eat a lot of hot dogs
and ice cream which is a tradition in
Norway. It was a very special and fun
way to celebrate the national day.
