This is written by students for students.... read it in that spirit as well. Welcome to Svalbard as a UNIS student You get lots of other information elsewhere; most of it's official, which means it doesn't tell you anything. Really, you don't want to know about flora and fauna, do you? This, on the other hand, is the unofficial guide from fellow students. USSK tells you how to succeed as a UNIS student. Don't believe everything you read, but still treat it as your Bible. Amen.
