Nord-Trøndelag, home to Nord-Trondelag University College, is a county in the central Norwegian region called Trøndelag. The largest lake is Snåsavatnet and the largest river is Namsen, one of the best salmon rivers in Europe.

A large part of the population lives near the large Trondheimsfjord, which is a central feature of the southern part of this county. There are mountains near the border with Sweden, and coastal mountains with bare rock at the northern coast. The spruce forests occurs even at the coast, where some areas belong to the Scandinavian coastal conifer forests, a rare European temperate rainforest (boreal rainforest). There are several national parks in the county, among them Blåfjella-Skjækerfjella National Park, Børgefjell National Park (partly), Lierne National Park and Skarvan og Roltdalen National Park.

The Student Welfare Association in Nord-Trøndelag (SiNoT) has bed-sits/flats for students in Levanger, Namsos and Steinkjer. The Student Welfare Association at each campus has contact details for private accommodation. For more information, contact the Nord-Trondelag University College.
