The first capitol of Norway, Trondheim was founded by Viking King Olav Tryggvason in AD 997. The name Trondheim derives from the old Norse Þróndheimr, meaning home of the strong and fertile ones. The city is situated in the county of Sør-Trøndelag, where the river Nid flows into the Trondheim fjord; the Gulf Stream gives the city a surprisingly mild climate, considering its latitude. In recent times, Trondheim has become know as a center of technology and education in Norway–in fact, every sixth inhabitant of the city is a student. With its rich cultural life and heritage, students visiting NTNU are sure to have a memorable experience.
