One year after Det Kongelige Fredriks Universitet(The University of Oslo) was founded, 18 of the 19 students formed Det Norske Studentersamfund. The idea was to make a social, intellectual and cultural arena for the students in Norway’s capital. Moreover, in the summer the studentersamfund open a summer hotel which they fill with old double beds. Each room has about 30 double beds.
