What is "kvarteret"

Det Akademiske Kvarter (eng. The Academic Quarter), more commonly known as Kvarteret, is a student house in Bergen, Norway. The house is run by about 400 volunteer students. Kvarteret hosts a huge number of happenings each year, ranging from juggling shows to concerts. In addition to hosting cultural events it offers the volunteers experience as sound technicians, bartenders, photographers and system administrators to mention a few. The students who work here primarily come from the University of Bergen but also from Norges Handelshøyskole (NHH) (Norwegian School of Economics and Business Administration) and Høgskolen i Bergen (Bergen University College).

Kvarteret just opened after a 3 years closure while expanding.
