Going on exchange? Congratulations – you’re about to experience one of the most exciting chapters of your life! While it’s thrilling, we also know it can sometimes feel a little lonely.

Goin' is the app that connects you with other exchange students, both before and during your stay. Get tips from students who are already there, meet people heading to the same university or city as you, and stay up to date with relevant events and information – all in one place.

With Goin', you can:

  • Connect with exchange students from around the world

  • Find local events and group activities

  • Start building friendships even before you pack your bags

Going on exchange isn’t just about academic opportunities – it’s about building a network and making memories for life. Goin' makes the transition smoother and the experience richer.

 

All outgoing students from the University of Oslo (UiO) will receive an invitation to Goin’ Abroad. If you’ve already been invited to Goin’ by your host university, you can easily merge the two profiles.

Privacy

Because using this app is optional, Goin’ requires your consent to process your personal data. Goin’ needs to process certain personal data (name, email) to create a profile. Any other additional information you want to share is optional. Choosing not to do so will not prevent you from using the app. One-on-one conversations will not be monitored. Group conversations will be moderated by Goin’ employees to prevent inappropriate use of the app or if a student raises a concern. UiO has no access to student or account data in the Goin’ app. We do receive certain aggregated information about the use of the app, for example how many students from a certain country have created an account and information about popular discussion topics. You are welcome to withdraw your consent at any time by contacting Goin'.
