Spørsmål
Hello! I am a student arriving this August for a 2-year program. I am still searching for private insurance and am wondering what companies you accept coverage from? Thank you!

...and welcome to Norway!
I understand your question to be about health insurance, and which insurance will give you access to health care in Oslo.
In Norway, the system works a bit different than countries where health care is covered directly from private insurance.
As a student in Oslo you can use SiOs health services. SiO does not have a list of specific insurance companies that they approve. You would normally have to pay for the appointment yourself, an then apply to your insurance company for a refund. I would recommend contacting your insurance company to ask what they can cover for you.
Your general health rights in Norway may also depond on which country you are coming from, so I want to recommend you to check out Helsenorge.
I hope this answers your question. If not, ask us again with more details.
