Mr. Wikipedia says:
Jan Mayen Island, a part of the Kingdom of Norway, is a 373 km² arctic volcanic island partly covered by glaciers and divided into two parts by a narrow isthmus.

Jan Mayen Island has no exploitable natural resources.

Sounds like a picnic place :D

Don't you have Spitsbergen too? I've seen that in atlasses, it looked utterly useless
At your service.

Spitsbergen is the largest island in the Svalbard archipelago

Svalbard, part of the Kingdom of Norway, lies in the Arctic Ocean north of mainland Europe. It consists of a group of islands ranging from 74° to 81° North, and 10° to 34° East; it forms the northernmost part of Norway. Three islands are populated, Spitsbergen, Bjørnøya and Hopen.

Economic activity centres on coal mining, supplemented by fishing and trapping. In the final decades of the 20th century, tourism, research, higher education, and some high-tech enterprises like satellite relay-stations have grown significantly. Norway claims an exclusive fishing zone of 200 nautical miles; Russia does not recognize this.

The Norwegian state-owned coal company employs nearly 60% of the Norwegian population on the island, runs many of the local services, and provides most of the local infrastructure.

Svalbard has a population of approximately 2,800 people. 60% of the people are Norwegian; 40% are Russian and Ukrainian. The official language of Svalbard is Norwegian, although Russian is used in the Russian settlements.

    Yep and living alone is the best thing that could happen to anyone, but I certainly missed getting my laundry done by someone else, getting food prepared, getting my room cleaned, my car, etc.

    Thats because youre going to school in America!

    And most americans that attend private universities get some sort of financial aid or scholarships that help them pay as much as half the tuition

    and if theyre attending public universities in their same state the cost is less than ten thousand

    Its crazy to go to school in America being international

    To attend Penn State I (well my parents and scholarships) pay about $10,000, and I am a Pennsylvania resident.
    Per year right?
