Oslo Student Housing Landslide Prompts Emergency Meeting

Oslo's student welfare organization held an emergency meeting Sunday evening after a landslide struck near student housing at Carl Berner. Multiple buildings in the area were evacuated following the incident. The organization's director confirmed they are coordinating with emergency services to assess the situation.

Andreas Eskelund, chief of the student welfare group, said in a statement that they are working to establish full oversight of the event. He noted they will provide updates as more information becomes available. The Carl Berner student residence was among the buildings cleared during the evacuation.

Landslides in Norway's capital remain relatively uncommon, though this incident demonstrates how quickly urban safety concerns can emerge. The immediate evacuation suggests authorities are taking no chances with student safety in this densely populated area of Oslo.
