I really hope this doesn't arrive in UK

I wonder if they are telling the whole truth? Did they interview many students or just those who go out every evening for a month? I always think there is probably a few who do, but many who are home studying. But that wouldn't make a good story

Oh I don’t know.
It might brighten up the average bus replacement service 🚌

Not really stopping them having fun Keepingquiet it isn’t about that it’s about the length of time it goes on for and the cost ( thousands) I doubt anyone would complain about one night of celebrations or even a weekend but these go on for weeks even whist they are still studying, playing loud music in the streets from midnight to dawn
It's a party bus! We go out every night for a month, we get drunk, we're partying with our friends and it's just fun!" says 19-year-old Edvard Aanestad, who is finishing school on the west side of Oslo.The fear is that all the weeks of partying as well as the peer pressure involved are having a detrimental effect on teenagers' overall wellbeing, as well as their grades. A small fortune is often spent renting the buses and decking them out and many school-leavers go into debt to pay for it all

I read the article this morning and was shocked that the partying goes on before and during their final exams. And how costly it all is.
I have been watching the excellent Simon Reeve series Scandinavia. Norway comes out as an exremely wealthy country which invested their undersea oil discoveries in the welfare of their citizens as well as international investments which have produced an enormous reserve. Unlike the UK and our north sea oil.
So I expect these 18 year old Norwegians have more money to spend on partying and maybe their futures are so financially secure that exam results don't matter too much.

If it was an Amercian tradition- like those awful proms- I would say it may come here, but as it's Norwegian and they are a more caring society no way will it be picked up here. This is because we don't have the midnight sun here and the article is about how to stop these young people having some fun after their hard work, and not encouraging them to do so.

The plan now is to ensure that from next year celebrations are moved to the post-exam period.

Well that's the most obvious and sensible step to take in the first place.

They're going to party anyway, that's a given. It just needs to be done a bit more safely too.

Yes, agreed BB. I just posted the headline for argy as she was reluctant to click on the link.

Well a bit more than party buses which sounds very tame Georgesgran
These go on for weeks and cost thousands

It’s a perfectly safe BBC link argymargy I wouldn’t post anything dodgy

Goodness. I had no idea. Agree with your thread heading bluebelle.

Party buses for students after exams.

What is it? I don’t like clicking links.
