Is it really that hard ?

God kveld, everybody says it is really hard to make friends in Norway and i was wondering if its really that hard. I (25m), like 50% of this sub, am planning to go to norway and work there as a dentist once my Norwegian is on B2, which hopefully will be in 1-1.5 years and if i find a place to work. A lot of people tell me its really really hard to get friends and get intergrated in Social Life in general. I cant help but think to myself that it cant be that hard if you do the usual Stuff like joining Clubs (hunting, skiing , hiking, cycling), speak the language, aim to be accent free and learn the local dialect. Also im german so i can at least kinda look like a norwegian once i get the clothing style right :P

And i have to try my luck here: is a dentist/oral Surgeon/Cranio-Faciall-Surgeon here who ist willing to let me do a clinical observership? Probaply not, but i had to Try :D

Can norwegians and expats tell me if its really that hard to make friends and what would you recommend to make it more likely, what are your experiences?

Sorry for my poor spelling… i am fighting with my german autocorection about every word.

Thanks in advance and be safe in the Storm
